looks pretty good to me. how do plan to hold them in the buckets? ive seen quite a few people pop em out when flexin it up.

i guess there is 2 choices, limit straps or some just past 90 degree tabs on teh inside of the bucket going out over the coil.

sounds good to me. planning on linking up the rear too?

maybe down the road, but for now the front needs the pinion out of the dirt and lower by like 3 inches so the need is much more.

You may want to weld the tube in the first picture to a plate and weld the plate to the frame.

Also, you may want to add a third "leg" going from the top of the hoop to the top of the frame rail.

Have you seen Polyperformance's coilover mount they make for the TJ?

Something like that design may work for your upper coil mount.

Also, a spreader bar between the two mounts might not be a bad idea also.

A pic from bgreen in AK. Its one of the rigs they went wheeling with in this thread. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=305058

sweet, thanks for the pics. the tube one looks so clean and nice but teh flat plate idea would work just as well. the tube creation would be easy to adjust for ride height as well.

hmm....

any others?

thanks, jiMMy
