What did you use to cut and remove the brackets? Did you have to discharge the bypasses to do the install on the front?

Hey yolo, i used a plasma to cut off the majority and then i went back with a grinder to finish them off. In the front stock shock tower i used a cut off wheel to score the welds, then i used a air hammer along with bending the brackets back and forth and they snapped off pretty easy.

Thanks, its not so much a daily driver because i have a company vehicle to get back and forth to work. But anything other than work related i will be driving my jeep. I think this suspension setup would work great for a dd.
 
subscribed for reference to tackle install on my own or fork over the dough for labor. :rock::thumb: Wish you lived closer, I would offer to assist with the install. Looking good, Cant wait to see how it unfolds. :clap2:

Also you should considering starting a build thread with your progress to keep us updated in the jeep builds section.
 
Hey guys! I haven't made a while lot of progress since last weekend. I did however finally get all the parts except the king shock. Im very impressed with these new axles. I was able to get both rear control arm brackets fitted and im going to get the fronts preped and ready tomorrow.

Are you going to be using the high clearance control arm brackets on those Mopar axles? Can't wait to see the final results.
 
Very impressed to see someone tackle this in their own garage. The axles look impressive. I just went on dynatrac's website to learn more about them and they have pretty darn good specs for about 50% the cost of PR60 setup.
 
Control arm brackets are fitted and ready to be welded! Hopefully the rear lever goes on just as easy!

Yeah man i cant wait to get this thing back on the ground. I think the axles are going to hold up great. If i had the $$$$$ i would have gone with the dynatrac's but i honestly dont see the $10k difference.
