*update*
had allex pick it up with his trailer last night since its dont drivable... it just fit with a inch to spare on each side of his trailer.... got to chriss and got a start on it... and to our surprise the 4.0lt and the 5.2lt jeeps have diffrent tranny mount set up.... so chris had to do some minor modifacation to the cross member.... got that bolted on and that was about it for the night back at er today.....

well everything is up in place other then the break lines.... so all to do now is ajust the rear arms and get steering aligned and patch up the floor and frame were mounts fell off..... he ended up puttin the 5.5 rusty springs in the rear since the coils that were in 1 was broken... so the rear sits very high.... i think in the end i gained a inch in the front and like 2 inches in the rear....she was big befor and now shes just huge!!! so we decided it was time to crawl chris's rock wall and wow its got some crazy flex... we figured its gunna have about 10-12 inches of down travel and 4 inches of up ... he had it up on the highest point < gotta be at least a 3 ft rock wall > and the rear springs were still in tight so i think its gunna roll befor it lifts a tire off the ground flexin out i got lots of pics and im uploading now so stay tuned

acctually with the bigger springs in the back if we move the rear shock mount back to stock < was moved up 2 inches > i will be able to run those long shocks in the rear and have about 4"s of the shaft showing so we might go that route.... but other then that and some trouble with drivers side front arm...i think it went pretty good
i dont think this one is goin anyweres for a while skot lol
