Yes! I finished last night. It feels really good on the road. The brakes feel much stronger. I can't wait to wheel it. Just need to add limit straps to prevent drag link abuse and I'll be ready to hit the mall.
I'll post a final "what can go wrong" list this week.

There is an opportunity in here somewhere.
Dallas needs to offer an option for wrench flats on both ends.
Might be worth $50 to resolve serious issues such as this.

He could just up the price $50 and then say he now makes them with either left or right side wrench flats, you need to specify which side you want the wrench flat on when you order.

what he could do is tap both ends with both left hand *and* right hand threads. then you can thread either joint into either end and have it be reversible.
I already offer it, and it's only $10 http://www.stinkyfab.com/axle-parts...rench-flats-to-aluminum-suspension-links.html
You can add as many as you like. :roflmao:

How many of those wrench flats fit in a small flat rate box?
They look very convenient.
I could keep some on hand to apply as needed.

Measuring for limit straps. No, this is not a safe way to lift a jeep and I would not work on it like this.
Also, only one wrench flat. No ragrets.

Dunno how many this is, but my guess is a lot. Where would you like them shipped?
Well played sir. Well played.
:worship:
As soon as I figure out how to install them I will take a case.
Maybe two cases. One of right side wrench flats and one of left side wrench flats.
Edit to add: Apologies to the OP for hijacking his thread.
