Well now that Im Elite i figured Id start a thread to document my SAS build...
That picture in post 40 is one sloppy SAS, with the coil bucket, shock mounts and panhard mount all at different angles. The tube down the center of the coil springs is something jeep has been doing for years to gain more down travel with shorter coil springs. It works. @Rick used to have his front axle set up that way before he went to coilovers and it worked, but was noisy.

thats awesome. i was thinking about building a crossmember/brace from the passenger side frame, ive seen a few guys on here do it but a lot of heep guys
Rock Ranger ran a cross brace to the opposite frame rail, but I have clearance issues with the HP D44. I ended up cutting out the engine cross member just past the engine mounts and making a new bolt-in piece that sits higher. Did that for two reasons; one for clearance, the other for access to the engine oil pan.
Going to have the Coldest NYE in 30 yrs, with -5* below, and saying the 4th coldest overall.
It's going to warm up to 35* this afternoon for a couple hours. Just enough to tease you, and not enough time to do anything really. Might as well put the build on pause until spring has sprung. lol
