    You might want to cut those shock mounts down alittle for full drop later

    ...unless the pinion is still way off.

    So the 01 is almost mobile!?

    After having one of those shock mounts break, I wouldn't be cutting them without some sort of re-enforcement.

    Yeah that does suck pretty bad working by yourself...especially on suspensions. Looks like you made good progress for working by yourself though.

    you had one break? I've had mine cut for about two years now and mine have been fine. Were your shocks alittle to long for the suspension or did it pull off?

    I agree, the only reason they should have broken is if your shocks were too short for the job at hand. other than that, there should not be that much stress on those mounts from the shocks.

    It has to do with the way Rock Krawler built their Gen 1 suspension that mine boke. But after it broke, I can see how thin and weak those spring/shock mounts are.

    Do you not have to hack the old LCA brackets off with the T&T kit? Looks like it may pose a problem...

    That thing is looking great!

    the way his arms work they won't hurt at all being that close to the spring/shock mount brackets

    all you'd need is a small airgap to make sure the two don't wear by rubbing each other when a bushing flexs

    right it still looks like his pinion angle is leaning back also...he should be fine once he gets that right.

    I need to get the vehicle weight on it first, then ill adjust the pinion angle. These arms make that job a walk in the park!

    I hope to have her back on the road by then! Sunday will be alignment day, if I can find a shop to do it. I might have to lie about its actual lift height!
