Not much to update. finished all the plate work on the beams. Made the clocking ring and clocked the diff to compensate for the cut and turn.
Knocked out the truss and just need to finish some welding before it all goes back under the car.

Super clean. I like your plate work.

We got some Father’s day garage time passes this weekend.

Ryan and I worked on getting the radius arms built so we could cycle the suspension for and get the shocks mounted.

We started with 1-3/4 tube and then worked on the plate work.

We cut a window in the top of the driver side arm to make the two side mounting bolts more accessible.

Once we had the majority of the radius arms made up, we started working on the shock mounts.

After cycling the beams we mounted the lowers at about a 45* angle to make sure the shock rod end didnt have any bind.

Great work as usual guys!! I can't wait to see it in person. What do you think it'll end up cycling? I have seen many on here angle the top mounts of the shocks too.... is there a benefit to that in your eyes?

It cycles 17-3/4" and we figure we'll strap it at 16'sh.

We cycled it both ways, with and without the tops angled. And we decided it did change enough to bother with it.

An XJ with 16+" wheel travel is gonna do some good things!! That stupid solid axle has always been the pain with those things and good travel vs lift height.

We got busy on a couple other jobs for the last couple months, but were able to get a few things done...

We got some of the Charlie Brown done and added another tie in from the a-pillar.

We finished the cross member for the most part by capping the top and bottom and outsides.
