Good choice on springs. Keeping the lift shackles or returning to stock height shackles?

Old axles springs and shocks out. New springs and shackles on
Left a hp Dana 30 out of a 96 Cherokee and on the right a ford 8.8 out of a 98 explorer. The Dana 30 is equipped with an e locker and the 8.8 a good old Detroit
Installed front axle along with a heavy duty steering assembly and steering box brace
Front completely installed with tires on ready to roll 35x12.5 on 15 inch pro comp alloy rims
Still got a lot of work to do tomorrow but I'm happy with what we got done today considering we had to drive an hour one way to pick up the axles. Tomorrow's adgenda is to run the brake lines on the rear axle get the old t case out and install the new case with the sye and teralow installed then bolt things up and and bleed the brakes then the waiting game for the drive shaft!

As for them cinder blocks it was a little dicey sometimes so we got the front end done before we did anything else just for a little more stability so I'm not as worried as I was it's all down hill from this point I'm surprised how high it sits I wasn't expecting it haha Idk how the hell I'm gonna get in it

Yeah right!:funny:
They were just trying to lighten the weight a little - better fuel mileage and all.
It's probably not as big a deal on a YJ, but after lifting a TJ an alignment is really required. I like Firestone's lifetime alignment personally.
It looks good!
