Oh, and remind me what you did with your a/c drier?

Fair point - setting up the steering on these trucks can be difficult once you start changing the stock configuration. It was one of the biggest pain points of redoing the front.

I was able to bend my ac dryer all the way into the fender. Somehow still works awesome. I’ll get geometry posted up later today.

Wow, nice work. The first time I tried bending mine I broke a line. The second time I used a new line and just bent it enough to stay out of the way.

What shocks are you running in the front?

Ive had 2 sets of enduro joints now and I am sad to say you will be disappointed in their longevity. The urethane cup does not last. Grease makes no difference... and i know what youre thinking... "i will just rebuild them!" - i bought the rebuild kits too. And good luck figuring out how to replace the bushings while preloading them enough to get a snap ring in there.
I talk trash about them in my build thread I think, but they are garbage

Meant to ask - no front indicators/blinkers?

I cut a hole in the bottom of the side indicator and installed the blinker light. So now I have both side indicators and blinkers in the same housing.

I went on a wheeling trip today so here are some more pictures! Love the 3link....should of done this forever ago. Truck is a lot more stable now. Don’t even think I lifted a tire once. The front always flexes before the back now and feels a lot more controlled and stable because of that.

If anyone is curious this is how far the dobinsons coils can extend. My shocks are are also ~13.5in travel with the eye/pin adaptor. This is ~90% of droop.
Pics for those of us who are visual learners!
Did you paint the coils or did Dobinsons get rid of the teal color?
I think they would have gone nicely with black. It grows on you.
Teal goes really well with green dirt sea foam

Not to much has been happening to the truck the last couple weeks. However I have like 12 days to finish and seal up my rockers, mount my sliders and maybe get to redoing some of the welds on my rear bumper. But we’ll see. Have another Moab trip planned so it’s crunch time.
Today I got the exhaust taken care of. Full custom setup from the headers back. All inside framrails tucked high and tight. Sounds about same as stock.
