Could you do me a favor and help calm the flood of calls coming from this thread by posting a response? Here is what I would like it to say.

Here at Ballistic Fab are currently working on making brackets available for XJ/TJs that would allow fabricators to use better axles but maintain stock coil, link, and shock locations. Rumor has it that we are making an entire kit but currently we are only working on a set of brackets to replace the lower axle link mounts, the lower coil buckets, the shock mounts, and an axle trackbar mount.

While everyone is very excited about this bracket, it is not quite ready yet, and we'd appreciate your patience to allow us to get it right. We are looking at everyone's suggestions about what they'd like in the bracket and trying to incorporate them into the design, but it takes some time since maintaining everything in factory locations and mixing them with nonfactory parts (of which the combinations of parts is endless) complicates the design.

Again, this is a set of brackets and is not an entire kit, so more work will need to be done by the fabricator to finish the rest of the build. I know everyone wants to know all the specs of the brackets but until we are finished we won't have anything concrete to tell you, so please let us finish it before calling us to ask questions. Look to the website in the coming weeks for the brackets. Thank you.

Having more options will be a good thing.

The RE joints have had a good nitch in the market but now ballistics mades their new Ballistic joint. Uses Nylatron GS not UHMW-PE.

I was thinking about using that big 3" joint for the top of my triangulated 3 link, hopefully it'll be strong enough
