Found one, but in Wisconsin.


Also found my leak: PS bracket is almost touching the pressure and return lines leaving to top of the box. bad leak around one thats kinked just out of its fitting.

Droop on this thing is ludicrous. Haven’t checked ride height yet. Tomorrow morning before meetings that drag me back to work.

12” shocks out back are too long. Shackles are gonna get un-reversed. Probably will level it out with the new front springs.

Too much to do too little time as usual.

Friday can be a long day though - dropping Kim off at the airport for a 0630 flight.

method for rear shocks:

hang truck in rear by frame
attach shocks to lower mount.
fully extend shock minus 1.5"
weld bolt to cage where eye lines up

done

Shoulda gone for 2” TJ coils instead of 4”

I think I got a 4” lift from these that I didn’t need or want

I guess I’ll align to max camber and run it...

Now that's funny.


Needed that laugh. Thanks.

Can’t find a pitman arm that will work. Not sure I can cobble hoses to a non broken state to loop them since the ps bracket crushed one. I guess I’ll make due if I don’t hear good news on a pitman arm measurement from gif.

Humbug.

Other than bumpers and steering things are looking good. I guess I’ll have to throw the power box back on no matter what to get over to bumper fab.

I have a flat cj and YJ drop

[mr.mindless]

Manual steering? I think that’s key to the smaller shaft. Flat is good too but I can make what I need if I can get the right splines.

All power boxes checked (yj cj zj and ranger) are just shy of 1.25” od on the shaft at the top of the arm. What I’m after is ~1.1” there.

 Thanks Gif!
If there's a pitman arm that goes with that it's got a chance of being right.
I'm up for the day and about to throw the power box back on so the truck is mobile, I'll keep an eye here in case I can run out and pick something up today.
