On my jeep , I slotted the holes in the tank skid, so I could move It to the pass. side like 1\2 a inch and slotted the holes for the tank straps so I could move the tank over in the skid. It got me a inch in total.
Helped with room for the shocks
Looking good

That's a load of pics. Cool. Couple questions.
Rad- was your shroud chopped up to make room for the drop?
Currie control arm bushing- single use bolt or not? what's it look like after install?
outside shot.... sits nice. no ugly rake.

Man, it looks so much better without that body lift. The first pic outside....A1.
I'd say the steel tube is fine for the MML.
Was thinking about the shock clearance....flip it over!

The shock pic is worse case , jeep on the tires there is lots of clearance . Fox shox run upside down , not sure if they could be run the other way around

I read the instructions, they can go either way. Here's a closer look, was so impressed, I took some pics. Full machined aluminum body, the eye is not welded on. (rebuildable too!) The shaft eye is machined aluminum, threaded on. Exactly same as my air shocks. That washer looking thing is a built in rubber bump-stop. Nicest shocks I've ever seen!

I read the instructions, they can go either way. Then all the stickers would be the wrong way!

Oil pan is weeping right where I burned through . I drained it , wire wheeled the paint off and JB welded it Painted Back to the skid plate I cut the trans mount out of an old skid This was welded inside the C channel Tapered the ends of the main frame and got my finish grinding done . Now I need to make the plates Pass side is longer for the trans skid OK now in hind sight , a 1 in MML with the auto is enough . I could have gotten another inch of belly clearance
