Update...

I've got a bit of an update. I've ordered the majority of my front suspension parts. I have Ballistic spring pad/shock mount/LCA combo brackets ordered, Ballistic link tower, 3 Ballistic weld in flex joints, 3 regular Ballistic Flex joints, jamb nuts, and Gen-Right 3 link frame brackets ordered. I'm up in the air as far as link material. So I need to figure that out before I order tubing adapters. I have awhile until the Jeep will even go down to be worked on, so its not a big deal. Oh yeah, I also need to call TnT Customs about their front stretch kit. That will basically allow me to stretch my front end 3". If I remember correctly it will relocate my steering box, coil spring perches, shock mounts, and all that good stuff. Essentially taking out all the guess work for me. If the price is right and its everything I remember it being before they took it off their online store, then I'll be ordering that very shortly.

If I can swing it, I want to push my front axle forward 3" and push my rear back 5". That would give me a 101" wheel base, which is the same as an XJ. It should be a heck of a lot more nice in the steep crazy stuff compared to 93.4". If the turning radius does bug me, well, I think I still may do cutting brakes for the rear even though I have a HPD44 instead of the HPD60 I planned on. I'll just have to go easy on sharp turning.

Any way, that is my update. When the parts come in, I'll post up some pictures.
