4" xj coils put back in
front shocks lowered 2.5" for more usable down travel
1.5:1 steering quickener and quick disconnect wheel installed
new snow tires mounted.  couldn't come up with a grooving plan, might just leave them.

changed out bad ball joints, tightened up both wheel bearings, swapped springs in front for 4' TJ coils, grooved front tires.

need to groove rears, and get a battery then race ready.

How were the ball joints to do?
I thought there was something wrong with the 4" tj coils? They sure seemed to work on Eric's truck.

ball joints easy because you can remove caliper and leave on truck, break free upper and lower, and steering TRE, then move the unit to bench to RxR them.  not bad at all.

i dont know really which coils these are, they are the 3rd set.  seem to give the most travel and bumped up the ride hight a little.  i also set the castor/camber back to zero/zero so its looks much better.
