Random jeep things I am doing.

Lots of distractions lately. Finally had some time to get back to the waggy. Front suspension is getting close. Full stuff, everything gets into everything about the same time so I will call that a win. Lowers are welded in. Uppers are tacked in until I get the exhaust built. Thinking about ordering some headers instead of the fbody manifolds with the goofy flanges they have.

upper mount clearance

track bar at the same time is close to the oil pan

On its own weight for the first time in forever. Going to need some lift springs

Should be Ride height

Debating on what I want to do with the front coils. I havent welded in the mounts yet. I could lower them down so I could use the stock coils. This would also I think give me better tire clearance with the top of the tire. I need to pull the coils out of it and flex it with the tires on, I am worried about the tires hitting the coil buckets. I will also need to move the axle coil buckets out to the inner c's. Other though would be to notch the buckets into the frame to center the coils. I worry about that though because then I am cutting the frame right where the motor mounts and coil springs will all be attached.

Chat GPT tells me my front sprung weight is 1680.
