We jokingly named our shop 12 Pack Fab Works, but it seems to fit the bill as that is what we usually charge for labor. Steve owns the shop and we are working on his '90 2 door XJ currently.
Suspension-
He had narrowed high pinion Dana 60s front and rear before with a Tomken 5.5" lift. The uppers tore out of the frame mounts, so we then we built some long arm lowers(1.25" sched 80 pipe) and an A-arm upper(1.75"x.095" hrew), ditching the track bar, for a 3 link. On the last trip he bent a lower, broke the upper and ripped the crossmember off. :? So we just finished the latest suspension design with a double triangulated 4 link and a new crossmember. This time all the links are 1.5"x.250" dom with the lowers sleeved with 1/8" HPDE plastic for better rock sliding.
