Have the insurance company find another jeep exactly like yours for the money they want to give you , bet you they won't , they'll give you some reasons why they won't . I thought insurance companies were supposed to get you to the point you were before the accident ...

Got a can of spray paint ? It can be black lol So you want a smoked lens ? VHT makes a nightshade product to achieve what you want . If you're worried about cops pulling you over having a smoked lens is one way for them to do that ( if it's not DoT approved )

Not sure what all expectations you have ... http://m.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Chrome-Art-Deco-LED-Third-3rd-Brake-Light-License-Plate-Light-Hot-Rod-/112128943288?hash=item1a1b67e4b8%3Ag%3AVAAAAOSwE6VXJUX6&_trkparms=pageci%253Acf75effe-d0f0-11e6-bd98-74dbd180a3bf%257Cparentrq%253A5f67866b1590a605d6da2fc2ffcafabd%257Ciid%253A5

Do you have a sport bar ?

I'm fine with that Don , thanks . I know there's going to be mixed reviews , but who has recommendations of good arms to get ? I'm not looking to break the bank or buying the cheapest either.... Edit: wouldn't I need XJ arms because the WJ arms would be too wide at the mounts .

Well after reading the threads Don posted and what Pete and everyone else suggested I think my two best options are drop brackets or both the control arms to clear . Drop brackets will also give better geometry correct ? And if I notch the arms and have my buddy who is a certified welder put them together there shouldn't be any I'll effects right ? Thanks for all the help gentlemen .

I'll get measurements for you tomorrow .

Yep

This happens occasionally to me , I just click the new content button again and then it works .

I'm 34 1/4 inches to the lowest part of the flare measuring from the ground through the center of the hub , 20 inches from the center of the hub to the lowest part of the flare .

Thanks Pete , the jack is taking place of the tires and the truck is not resting on the stands in the picture(s) I've taken as I stated .

Why would that make a difference ?

Are you stock height or lifted ? I don't believe I'd be having these issues if I were stock height or a slight amount of lift

Don , it looks like your brackets are designed differently . I'm unsure if it's because it's 2wd or because it's a newer style non CAD axle . It does appear that your control arms are more level than mine too .

I have the axle jacked up in the center , with the upper control arms attached and the LCA bolt holes lined up on on both sides . There should be no difference between that and having it on the ground . And yes , I'd have more clearance as the axle moves upward . But when when going over bumps / potholes / trails etc I'm sure that there's going to be some serious clunking / banging going on .

Here is where it's making contact with the lower bracket , this is with the front axle jacked up and it's barely lifted off of the jack stands .

Sure you can ask . I'm looking to clear my 31s at full turn so they won't rub . I'm open to install arms that are bent like the WJ ones that are tubular etc .

Yes , but also the bracket underneath that ( which the lower arm is currently hitting .) The bracket in your picture is the one I'm least concerned with , the other one won't have much left once it's clearanced

That was one of write ups I had seen . Like you said , I think it's a combination of the height and lack of drop brackets .

First ,here's some background info : 1988 with OME 2934 lift coils , stock UCA's , Dana 30 with 31x10.50x15 tires with stock gambler wheels . I'm in the process of installing my dana 30 4:10 axle along with new WJ LCA's , I've already cut the sleeves to the proper width and attempted to install the LCA's with the oval bushing on the frame side and the round at the axle side . So here's where the problem starts , the top of the control arm is hitting the axle housing on both the shock bracket and the bracket that is directly below that, where the bolt that holds the LCA on goes through . It's not like it's barely touching either , I'm to the point where the truck is now starting to lift off of the jack stands and I think even if I get the bolt in the axle side of the LCA that I will get very little travel before they make contact . So what course should I take ? Notch the LCA for more clearance and weld it back together . Use drop brackets to make the control arm sit more level . I know people in the past have said to cut the axle bracket , but with the lift I don't see that being enough clearance and weakening the strength of the brackets too . Other options / opinions / thoughts? It's too dark to take pics right now , but I can tomorrow if it helps you to see what's going on . Thanks in advance

As being the only other person on this forum that personally has seen your truck , I would leave them on . The reasons above are good enough to leave them alone . Here's a close up picture of the paint/stripes ....
