nice.

I gotta do the same - but need to consider chassis side mount changes and clearance to front skid and exhaust at the same time.

Goal: remove all the crappy ballistic joints and stop bending the lowers.

All new 7075 T6 aluminum links installed.   2.375" lowers / 2.0 " uppers.
 that was a lot of work...      but was half the cost of buying them made to order.
thanks to smikes lathe!
