What did Brown Santa show up with today..

[AZ Explorer]

The last part on my most recent order finally arrived. A heavy duty steering box brace which moves the box forward 1.25 inches. When I get the new frame, the company said they would mount the front spring brackets forward by that same measurement. The shackles stay mounted in the same place and will lean a bit more forward at the bottom, but I have the wiggle room as now they sit slightly negative and should end up where I want them to be.
The CJ factory set up has the wheels set too far to the rear and causes rubbing and turning issues when larger tires are added. (At least the sizes I'm running).
I was going to do a heavy duty bracket anyhow so getting this style was a no brainer. Luckily, the rear tire sits pretty centered in the wells, only had the common issue with the front.

Yup, did exactly that with my frame build, along with a shackle reversal and pushed the axle mount forward by an inch up front on the springs. Back is pretty centered in the wells.

Progress!!

Are those Synergy coils progressive rate springs? Cant tell if it changes towards the top, or if it’s just the camera angle.

They appear to get closer together at the top but not as close as some I’ve seen.

Exactly what I was thinking. But couldn’t tell if it was the angle

Good going. Looks like we are both doing one. I can't wait to see what it is like to be able to turn when the spotter says to turn.

Front & rear driveshafts. Adam's 1350. Hopefully Adams has the balancing process down for their JK shafts and I'll have better luck than Eddie.

That was my thought too as my Adams drive shafts should arrive soon.

Nuts aren't included for the pinion yoke & transfer case flange. Is it OK to reuse the stock ones or should I get new ones?

It will be nice to see your Jeep grow up to match the way you drive it
