i have to level the front out now,its 4' lower.

I thought the 3 leaf pack would keep it about level.. oh well.

I am also going to remove some of rear fender well. we moved the axle back 2'

[thecountrykid]

the built has been on hold for the last 4 months, buying a house in a few weeks.

I did score this weekend,
I had a clean 1978 Honda ATC 90 3 wheeler i was into for $25, I traded it strait across for a set of axles for the jeep.... I got a Big hub 44HD, flat tops, and 16" stainless brake lines. with an Eaton converted to disc, welded carrier, both axles have 4:56
