I'm not going to chat much about it since I can't actually go through and explain every picture one at a time, but I'll give you guys the general idea. I'm puting 1/2-ton axels on my cherokee and I build a support for the front leaf springs so I could accomplish this with the long bastards that came off a chevy. I fabbed it all and am still a newbie (and there's still a lot to do) but you guys should get a pretty good Idea of what my ride looks like and what I'm doing with these pics. They're actually the first ones that I've put on the board

The pics will give you an idea of how I'm planning on doing the front. The shackles I have on there were from the original springs and I've fabbed up slightly longer ones I'm going to put on it after I drill the holes (tomorrow). On the rear, I'm cutting off the radius arm mounts and puting the leaf spring mounts just behind where those were. I'm temporarily sleeving the uni-frame on the same section I'm mounting the rear of the front leaf springs so I can have it rolling to get it over to the big shop. There I can sleeve the whole uni-frame and do the rest of the major fabbing. I think that's about it. Hope you all enjoy the pics
