    I just read through your build. I haven't seen anyone using a bronco setup on a Jeep before, nice design I like the idea.

    Yes, idea came from a guy who did it on his Yj. I wanted something built strong and i wanted something simple. But i change the bushing set-up for a creeper joint, it give lot more flex. With the Oem frame i was having 32" of flex on the rear wheel. I think i may lose some because the old frame was twisting too.

    Front shock tower are in place and paint

    Here's the front done with bump stop 5 inch of down travel and the same for up

    [​IMG]

    Finaly i decided to front sway var at the rear, its a try i dont know if it will be effective at the rear. I have quick disconnect for off road.

    [​IMG]

    Started working on the rear , need to cycle the suspension and i'm happy to see that i didn't lose too much flexibity with this stiffer frame

    [​IMG]

    That's all for tonight
