Rear suspension linkage is nearly complete

From this photo you can see the rear pinion is not in alignment with the rear driveshaft. There is about a 5 or 6 degree difference between the two. Jim has ordered a set of Adjustable Upper Control Arms (UCA's) that will address this issue. I will also be installing a Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit (SYE) with a Constant Velocity (CV) driveshaft that measures 4 inches longer. The combination of these parts will ensure this lifted jeep will drive just as well on the highway as it does off-road.



These are some good photos of the nearly completed rear suspension. You can see the Rubicon Express lower control arms, swaybar connectors, shocks and coil springs. All we have left with the rear half is to get the new rear track bar, track bar bracket and UCA's installed and the rear suspension will be complete.
