Hello, I got all the front suspension off the truck setting at work so I went in to Work a couple hours early this morning to work on my truck front suspension, ground off the rivet heads of the upper balljoint, and installed the new upper a arm cross shafts.

Good thing I read a lot about those before I tacked that job, cause that's how I learned it a good idea to take the new cross shafts and start the outter bushing threaded ends and bearly start a thread on each end and mark the shaft and end piece and count the number of rotations it takes for them to stop or bottom out on the bench and No they are not all exact, on upper shaft was 11 turns and other end was 8 so had to compensate the difference to make them both even amount of turns or the center shaft would lockup. happened on the on lower shaft also but got it all worked out for the upper then installed the new upper balljoints with the nuts on top.

I had one lower a arm that the end where the cross shaft end caps go on was bent in cause it hit something. this makes the center section of the cross shaft not fit in the middle of the a arm so my dad and I this evening bent it back straight and installed the lower cross shafts same way as the upper ones all together now, And like my first custom 68 I built I just took the angle grinder and cutoff wheel and cut the whole bump stop step assembly completely off the a arm.

My tierods ends are really good so leaving them alone, and purchased new Brake hoses. and front shocks.

I am copying the upper shock relocate bracket and making my own same with the rear when the Jeep TJ rear springs go in with new rear shocks.

Hopefully Friday the new upper a arm mounting stud will be here and I can get it all put together. I can put the whole Left side together now buy need stud for Right side.

I cut 1 1/2 coils off my front springs today also
