really nice looking cherokee!

You will like those fox 2.5's if you can get them dialed in/valved correctly.

What's up with those rear mounts? Multiple point on which to mount the shock?

thanks guys! looking forward to dialing them in soon! the rear mounts were made so that i could adjust the shocks for multiple setups.. that way i can get maximum travel or maximum articulation. nice to have options with shocks ive learned..

How are you mating the Dana 300 to the TH400? I know the TF727 is a direct bolt together, but I did not think you could mount a TH400 to a Dana 300.

should just take an input from jbconversions for the 300 to bolt it up to the 400. there was a local guy that had a turbo 400 and dana 300 in his 78 wag.

So ballpark figures on the shock towers, frame boxing plates, rear leaf spring mounts, shackles and adjusters
traction arm ? I'm looking at purchasing parts from BJ's offroad for my SOA / SF. But I like helping out businesses with new creative solutions.
