carnuck Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Shop is nuts! Any 4x4 shops in your area? CJ sway bar plates http://www.oconeeoffroad.com/servlet/the-5529/18271.15-Jeep-CJ-76/Detail Put it between the axle and the springs (you may need to grind some and notch it to fit around your springs) Full size Jeep ones are only single sided, which is what I have to put in if I change my rear diff to an 8.8" (but the price on my MJ will go up accordingly). Puts the shock mount in the same place as OEM so stock shocks can be used. Use an extra tall nut on the bolt through the leaf springs and you're golden!
TCAdkins Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 Well I went to another shop and they don't do lifts anymore, but he referred me to a guy that used to do rock crawlers and is a welding instructor. He came to my house and priced me at 50 bucks or so to weld the perches and shock mounts on. So now I have to put the truck back together (which I'm dreading) so he can get the pinion angle, and then take it apart again and he'll weld it for me.
carnuck Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Are you running stock rear driveshaft or double cardan? If it's the regular one, use a level and weld new ones directly above the old ones on the same plane. Then drive over and have the shock mounts done right.
TCAdkins Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 Okay so I don't have to put it back together? I haven't gotten to it yet, work is hectic. And I'd really rather do it a way that I don't have to put it back together just to take it apart again and then put back together again.
GrizzzzBear Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 When I did my SOA Conversion, I had the Spring Perches welded on by a Reputable Spring Shop. I had aquired another set of Shock Mounting Plates for an 89 Comanche. I Flipped them, Cut a Notch for the Axle, then Installed the Whole Set-up. (With the Stock Springs, you can get Stock Height Shocks) Then I got New Axle U-Bolts. The Brake Lines were Replaced with New, Poly Coated lines. The Parking Brake Cables were the Only Headache I had. After it was All Complete, I am Very Satisfied with the Ride. I did get a New Driveshaft.
