Thanks for the info. You'll see later that I add coil spacers in the front and stock height dual rates in the rear.I love your removable stifeners because I don't want to weld big pieces to my rig that I can't swap to another easily because I feel the body is on its last leg anyways.
Cutting a coil off will increase the spring rate of the coil. If it ends up too stiff you may be able to get some stock TJ coils because they seemed way softer and shorter than the xj ones I have.
The crossmember is a couple of inches below the unibody...I know, I know...right at the center of the vehicle where it's most likely to rub. I couldn't figure out another way to do it and maintain any height difference between the upper and lower links.Hmmmm so how low does your crossmember hang? Also, Is that your rear arm mount build into the rocker skid?
