I actually had to cut the metal back almost and inch on the t-case lever side and bend the channel that guides the lever. I suggest removing the shift boot when doing the t-case drop because I thing that when I Installed the drop, when I lostened the bolts and the t-case was at angle, it had...

Well guys as you've seen by my previous threads, I just put a 4.5" Rough Country lift in my 93 Wrangler. I ran into a few issues but nothing I couldn't address without your guys' help. Just want to throw out to everyone who is going to be lifting their YJ that you should really make sure you...

Thanks Man!

Alright well here she is! Went from 17.5" on the bottom of the front bumper to 26"!!! Ended up having to weld the nutserts and they still wouldn't crimp, I tried everything!!!! Next up is the Bush Whacker cut out fender flares, possibly will be cutting the fenders haven't decided yet, then...

I figured they were 69jeepcj, I'll get somepics up here as soon as I get back in the garage to show why I put them the way I did and we can go from there. You guys have been an invaluable resource for bouncing ideas off from as well as info! Thanks again as always

If you want to drive up to NY I know someone who'd sell one in better shape the that for $250-300. I bought my hard top that is in beautiful shape for $260 then he gave the cash back when I traded him my smashed up grand Cherokee for full doors, fiberglass windshield, bushwhacker flares, and a...

When I had them installed the other way, it looked as though it was going to hit something on the frame. Maybe the steering-box or something to that affect. I have to look and see why I was thinking that. I need to find a house with a garage in the country. I hate this city townhouse packed on...

Mine are installed as shown in this picture. All references I used online showed them installed both ways. Does it really matter? Should I flip them to be pointed in like the rears? like rear >Jeep< front instead of rear >Jeep>

I'll have a pic up in a couple hours of the front shackles. I have them pointed away because being pointed in they looked as if the would hit on something on the drivers side. Can't recall at this moment as to what it was but I will have pics shortly

Well I ordered the nutserts through black magic brakes. They should be here in a couple days. He has a helluva write up on the install. I'm just hoping I can grind the old ones out without any issues. I did fill the tanks on the torches if I've gotta burn 'em out

i have the the fronts pointed out away from the frame. Like pointed away. I'll get a pic when I'm back up there saturday

Alright so the last thing I have to do to finish up my lift kit now is to replace the nutserts in the frame to hold the transfer case cross-member. Three questions- One - Am I more likely to damage the holes in the frame to get the old nutserts out by torching them out or by cutting and...

Now with the boomerang shackles, I think I installed them in the proper direction.... the directions were shot like all of them being kind of vague (thanks Rough Country) I have both sets pointed forward since that's what made since to me. The internet was no help because all instructions were...

This is all done! Other than fixing the bolts and doing brake lines, I'm quite happy!!!!

Alright so I broke three of the transfer case bolts..... I am going to start a new thread on how to replace the thread inserts on the frame. Going to need as much assistance with that as possible. Wondering if i can just blow them out and put the new ones in.....

This Is about how high she's going to sit. The back will be an inch or two lower than where it is now!Full weight on the front!

I'm hopefully finishing it tomorrow morning. Going to redo all of the hard brake lines, just have to pick them up, do them, drop the rear axle and u bolt it, then install the transfer case drop. It looks like one helluh angle on the drive shaft so I may end up absolutely having to do a slip...

Sooooo what a nightmare!!!! Taking all the old out is one helluva task and the directions could only be followed in moderation. Could not do the front one side at a time since I ended up with almost 10" of lift due to the absolute shot original leaves and shocks!!!! The frame to leaf bolts all...
