just FYI, if you put the sway bar there in the rear, with those endlinks, the top portion of the endlink where it attaches to the swaybar will rub the axle. It's location relevant to the front is different due to different ball joint locations. You need the other more S shaped bracket (can't remember which ones have it), or, weld a solid chunk(say 1.5x1.5x1.5") of Angle iron on the back of the control arm to move it rearward. BTDT.
So I threw those S brackets on the rear bar but now it seems the clearance is a little off. It might just be me but it seems the bar is awfully close now to where the sub frame bolts go.

I welded up the shock perch on one of the struts today. I'm going to wait on the other one as the local JY just got in a 5000. If I can get a complete strut with hub, I'm going to use that one so I don't have to buy a hub and wheel bearing. Should save me money in the long run as a hub is about $30-40 and the bearing is about $80. Only $17 for a complete strut where I go
Also began pulling 5th gear apart. WHAT A PITA TO GET THE BOLT UNDONE THAT SCREWS INTO THE MAIN SHAFT!!!!!!
Didnt realize I wasn't supposed to pull off the synchro hub....oooops now I gotta put the hollow keys and spring wire back in place :frustrated: Had to use a 5ft exhaust pipe to break loose the main shaft bolt holding the locker cover onto the main shaft

Fuchs arrived today! Probably gonna get them powdercoated white within a month or so. Local shop said they'd do the set with sandblasting for $150.
Currently deciding between tire sizes. It's a toss-up between 205/60s or 215/60s. If someone can confirm that 215s will fit without rubbing, then I'm getting those.

Trimmed out the 5000 harness last night. Would someone be kind enough to identify the components in the pictures and tell me what I need and don't need? I will be running my digital trip odometer cluster as well so I will want to wire that up as well
Also, do I need to keep this in 1 piece?

He did just the opposite. Fitted 4kq spring perches to the 5ktq strut housing so the 4kq springs will fit them for a nice clean 5 lug swap. Same thing that derracuda has done a couple times and the same as extreme90path.
