    Bought 2 front seats since my stock ones are pretty beat. Buddy who’s been helping me with this build has these in his buggy and they’re super comfortable.

    Rear is finally on its own weight. Stoked with the outcome. Just left it at 25” frame height since leafs will settle. A79AB1DA-99AF-4C50-8A30-01A5E4B2F712.jpg

    Are you doing a 3 link in the front? I can't see the driver's side well enough. I would like to see some closeup pics of your setup when you're finished with the suspension. Looking great.

    Yeah it’s 3 linked upfront. (Way to much trouble to do a 4 link on these). I’ll reveal more pics of the 3 link when we’re done with everything. Still gotta take everything apart to paint when it’s done.

    I am no expert on 3 link or 4 link by any means, but I asked this because if you are going full Hydro now would be the time to a double V 4 link in the front. It looks like you will have enough height for the clearance of the control arms and you will not have a steering shaft to get in the way. I do know that with a 4 link in the front and the steering geometry; every thing has to be perfect or it will put added stress to the frame torquing it, and it start snapping things over time. Hence my fabricator friend in Moab prefers 3 link in the front regardless of full Hydro or not. Great build. I can't wait to see pictures of the finished product.

    It’ll be sitting about 1” lower from where it’s after we take it off the stands. To do a proper 4 link on these from my research you’ll have to lift the engine up. This is one reason you see a lot of people sell a 3 link kit for these Jeeps.
