http://www.jeren.freewebspace.com/images/i.jpg That is a lot of rear steer. Are you going to ditch the 5 link?
Everything else looks good. I love those chrome diff covers!

in addition to the rear steer issues what about the fact that the rear is completely unloaded (flexed) when both tires ate still on level pavement...

Try that again with your rear shocks connected.. And BTW: You're supposed to stop once a tire is about to come off the ground :flipoff2:.

Other than that it looks good....

I know, the lift that we used to do that is kind of mest up, when it gets to a point it just shoots up and you cant stop it. when it happened my balls droped and heart jumped out of my chest but it didn't flip.

I have the shocks for the rear but I am now trying to find out what position I am going to put the mounts on. The shocks are 9012's and I need to figure out where I will get the most travle, I may need to use a limiting strap for the rear, the front works fine.

must just be a bad pic... it looks like your front is climbing a hill and the back tires are on the driveway

well the rear is a D60 out of a '76 f250 with 5:13 and arb, the front is a HP RC D44 out of a f150 with chevy knuckles and rotors to make it 8 lug,had to grind the shit out of the calipers to make them fit into the 15" wheels, the still rub a small amount, 5:13 and detroit no slip locker, all full size. Rear drive line is a cv style with RE SYE. The lift is RE 5.5 and 2" coil spacers with RE long arms. Chevy tierod and custom draglink. Front drive line is still stock, the length of it was perfect with the HP axle. The TC is still the NP231, I wish I had your atlas, that is what I am doing next along with a full cage.

On the rear when we welded the upper control arm brackets on we made them in the same position as the stock, but when we tacked them on and checked to see if they were lined up or not one of the tacks broke and slid to the diff, and as we looked at it we decided to try to make it a little more triangulated and put them right next to the diff, but then we had to modify the track bar mount witch was a little pain in the a$$, but worked out good.

Dang, you sure put that thing together fast! You must have been working on it 24-7 by yourself!:flipoff2: . Looks sweet, but don't forget to bring lots of extra parts for that front axle when you go to the Rubicon. And get that ARB hooked up, you might need it when your D44 goes :nuke: . :beer:

Hey thanks Silly,
All the work that my friends and I put into it really payed off.

On our way home I stoped off and picked up a tubing bender to make some finders and a full cage.

Well the way it is set up now cost about $6000, didn't pay labor just parts mostly, the labor was done my friends and myself.

The old lift and tires was about $2500, I am hoping to get some of that back when I sale the old stuff, but I am not expecting much.
