I did that when I first lifted my Cherokee lifted. Had a shop do the brake lines, and had to drive into town like that. Got a lot of looks from people :laugh3:

Yeah, still got a lot to do, cut those off, trim the fenders, and I want to weld the LA brackets and the trak bar bracket to the frame.

Keep an eye on that track bar bracket as they like to crack when used with long arms.

Unless Rusty changed his design, don't the LA brackets need to be removed to gain acess to the tcase? I thought they overlap the xmember, kind of sandwich it between the uni frame. Just a thought before you weld.

haha i have done both i installed my full traction kit in the front and then a week or two later did the rear. haha nedless to say it looked super funny going down the road. and then when i put my 8.8 in i had 31's on and the only thing that would fit were my 33's because they had the correct BS so i had 33" swampers in the rear and 31" mastercrafts in the front that was also pretty funny

Glad to be of service :wave:
 
and second don't weld the track bar mount on.if anything tack it in place a few good tack is all you need to help keep it from moving.the chances of that mount breaking are good so don't weld it in and never be able to get it out with out having to do alot of grinding.i just replaced mine the other day
