I'm doing the axle seals, since I am doing the shafts, they aren't leaking but I would hate to tear everything apart again to fix a leak I caused by replacing the shafts.

Today I got the front done including new axle seals, right one is a pain. Tommudd front spring kit, CVs, intermediate shaft, upper JBA A arms, tie rod ends, and lower ball joints. Found that my front brake lines were corroded and weeping so I will replace them tomorrow.

At least you can run your brake line in the right way when you replace it :icon_razz::icon_razz::icon_razz:

Yeah I didn't worry about where it was during install. Speaking of line placement, where factory runs the hard lines next to the locking tabs for the A arm bolts is just stupidity.

All done. Today was front brake lines, fluid flush, rear suspension, and front diff fluid change. The Y link extension kit is a pain in the **** and the instruction are junk. If you stack the washers as in the diagram you will not be utilizing the nylocks. Beware. Drives good around the 'hood, will schedule an alignment in a day or two. Pics tomorrow, I am beat!!

Its the 3.5 with the recommended spacers. And the rear is the 4" JBAs.

Does your Jeep think it is a cat wanting it's rear scratched? Haha!:signs8: Sorry couldn't help it. That's weird how low the front is compared to the rear.

Probably save on gas - it'll always be going downhill. :insane:
PS: I think it looks fine. No offense intended.

I'm sure Tommudd will know the issue just by looking at it. Maybe send him a PM.

From the picture it looks like the driveway is sloped. That's probably my imagination though, and you know much more about it than I do. I think the kits always have a bit of rake to them, don't they?

Tom said it would settle and to put some weight in it. So I have a big pressure washer, floor jack, tool box, and the old front coil assys in there now. Looking for more to throw in. Yeah there is a slight slope to the driveway. I did a coil spring conversion on an air ride expedition and it settled out in a couple weeks. So hopefully it will too.
