Build Day Two(Broken shock bolts)

I spent a week end of horrible rust and pain working out getting about half the project done. The main time killer was dealer with removing the stock shocks. I will be finishing the project and taking more complete photographs this coming week end.

I found a problem before I even started working. I assumed the excess body roll was a standard Wrangler feature, but it seems the stock end link was broken. I have JKS disconnects being shipped to me.


A bit of a teaser picture, shown with the front suspension done. Finished the body lift and the rear springs since then. The front shocks were horrible to remove and all the rear upper shock bolts broke. The shocks are the entire reason the project is taking two week ends. I am in the process of fabricating new mounts for the rear shocks.
