    Inside the bumper front mount. Stiffens the bumper if I bump it with a rock. Lower mount, I welded the nuts to the inside of the slider to make it easy to un bolt the fender. Installed and sheet metal welded. Headlight bucket. Ugly stitch welds. Finished for the day.

    If you go back and read my thread I used J10 Jeep axles. I got 6x5.5 bolt pattern and a 65" WMS-WMS front and rear and with these pitbulls I rub my control arms so I'm running wheel spacers for now but the real answer will be to make a custom cross-member and inboard my links. That's coming...

    With the high pinion and if you dont stretch it forward too far you may be able to use the stock front driveshaft. and I remember the fron in my 00' is longer than my 97' so thay might be to your advantage as well.

    Thanks. Im happy with the front end, I got a few things I will be redoing like the track bar mount will be dropped to match a drop pitman arm. Reason being at full droop I can almost max out my steering joint so I want to eliminate that possibility. Also the rear end will be the next redo, I...
