Trail JK’s pretty Penny Copperhead build

[AlStew]

Hi Al! I wanted to follow up with you on the new coils after the Moab trip. They did great! The ride was awesome and not once did we bottom out. Ray and I had a couple of discussions about how we liked the new coils much better. Definitely something you'll want to consider. [emoji482]

Thanks for following up Rachel! and you didnt even bottom out once???.... Dang it! I was trying not to spend any money at the moment. I'm going to have to the rear springs! thanks again i appreciate it.

Brown Santa dropped off a new crown drag link and track bar for Penny. We'll be giving her some much needed love soon.

Nice looking Rig! just went through the thread and i am impressed. not sure how i haven't seen it before.

Forgive me for this is an old post but i was wondering what is being drill out here? is there a brace for the Rear coil-over which requires drilling the frame?

sorry stupid question, are they not mounted where the factory shock location is? can you by chance post a picture of this?

This is a bracket that goes above the factory shock mounting location.

Ray is working on a couple of repairs today. We've had a little set back with missing pieces to the bracket we wanted to have installed.

Oh man, what pieces were you missing?

We have the large piece for the track bar bracket to weld in but the kit comes with a few other parts that we don't seem to have. It was purchased a long time ago and we ended up going another route when we had it installed.

We were going to go this way because the stock track bar bracket has been broken off twice so we are thinking this would be a better route for the repair. Idk?
