Is that old 4x4 front end in decent shape? You may have someone interested in taking it off your hands

Its all done now. No radius arm drop brackets, cherokee 4.5" lift coils, f350 steering. the truck sits around 3.75-4 inchs of lift to keep my center of gravity low.



Well heres some pictures from when i was testing flex.

This wall is 32 inchs tall... and I actually hit the basketball hoop with my bumper.


Heres a side view, It doesn't look like much considering those are 35's and its only got around 3.5 inchs of lift now. Also I need something taller to park on so I can find out how far down it will really go.


Heres the compressed coil and shock.


And sort of a profile when it was backed in the other way.


Regular ride height before I changed the shackle bolts. (I moved the springs up in the shackles to try and get it level) In person it had a bit of a rake and I didn't like it very much.
