that is the one variable that I am unsure on. & Ive see guys use coils off of just about anything. the tj springs seem soft ?? there's only one way to find out.

Looks good man!
exahust was easy on mine, i just put the muffler just behind where the cat used to be and put a litter turndown after the muffler.
Yours is still street-able though huh?

Mine hasnt been streetable since it grew full width 60's (6 years ago) the 42's dont help either.
I was thinking Id do something simillar (exhaust). I was running a cat w/no muff before, I may just put the cat back on & turn it down & out right there.

thanks
yeah, the pic of the coil buckets looks a little hokey. they have a boxed in gusset on the inside of the frame. & I boxed them inon the outside tonight.
the pic looked like it was sitting on 2 pieces of strap. ha ha
Im pretty sure the axle being off is just the pic.It better be, ha ha
I cant wait to test this thing!!!
ha ha yeah I am guessing it is just the angle of the picture, if your off you can't be off by all that much
(just to make you feel better ) Yeah the upper coil buckets kind of made me worried after seeing all of your exellent fab work lol. But good, glad you got them all boxed and supported Keep it up.
thanks bart!
heres my weekend updates:
I got all my brakets & mounts welded up & gusseted everything & braced my crossmember.
I still need to brace up my rear winch mount, I had to cut out all the old bracing.
I got the fuel cell mounted in my truck box. & got it plumbed & wired.
I have a few more things to button up. I plan on bringing it to work with me tomorrow to do some forklift testing.

last night I got most of the project buttoned up! I still have a couple small things to add & adjust. but for the most part its done.
I brought it to work with me this morning so that I could do some testing on the forklift.
heres some forklift test pics.
everything looked really good, except for a couple minor adjustments. no binding
I do think that I will adjust my shock mounts a little to get a little more down travel.
