Ok well i havent seen anybody on here yet do a dovetail to their jeep. So i will be doing this tonight. I will also inboard the springs depending on the flex i can acheive by doing the dovetail. I'll post pics tonight.

I was thinking about it but I still don't have the resources to extend my shock shafts properly... just did a trip to home depot today and bought a bunch of 4 link parts so maybe when I find my bench grinder....

Well i inboarded the springs with the stock hardware. I'm not sure i like it to much. Maybe with longer screws it may be better. But i cut another coil out and it's a little better. I mean holding the axles i can get almost 90 ° flex. But on it's on it still seems to tight. Still deciding. After careful examination the dovetail experiment is going to be a PITA. But i'm here to chill for a cpl min. Then back to the table to see what i can come up with.

front inboard

rear inboard

messed with my seats

my mess and alittle sneak of the dove progression. Will be done for sure tomorrow, just ran out of time tonight

I dunno... maybe I srewed up. I inboarded my front shocks just like everyone else but it didn't do anything for me... in fact it's a lot worse now.

When I inboarded mine it was only like 1/2" but i moved them back all the way to the body tub. Actually a small cliff prompted me to move them by removing the top shock mounts for me. I cleaned up what was left of the top shock mount (The round pad with the split in it the screw runs through) drilled a 1/2" hole close to the tub and glued the shock pad directly to the top frame plate over the hole, then cleaned it all up with a dremel It allows the axle to articulate easier by putting more leverage on the shock fulcrum point, so I can run a longer screw and stronger spring and get full articulation on its own without added weight and only have about 1/4" of static sag in the suspension.

dovetail....messy but effective

I thought this was cool....flex'n in space...

looks like you have some binding goin on with that inboard. shouldnt flex in space like that.
maybe make the holes a little bigger so it doesnt bind up.

I did that on purpose. It doesnt get hung up during normal use.
