Also did a jeep Cherokee steering intermediate shaft upgrade.
It was really simple, but i cant tell if there was any improvement, i need a alignment, but still working on the ride height, so once i get that done I'll take it down and have the alignment done. But it does clean up the engine bay a little.

Looking good Camper. I bought new body springs for mine years ago. I think the shop that did it put the front springs on the back & vice versa. It sure perked the front of the car up big time. I had the brightest dim headlights in the country...and was bright-lighted for it on numerous occasions.

Ok a little more progress.
Replaced the rear lower control arms , and uppers from south side machine. Removed the carpet, and applied some sound deadening material , and installed a a/c delete panel, and last removed my dash , to prep for paint. 20180128_114147.jpg 20171028_164809.jpg 20171028_164821.jpg 20171016_182041.jpg 20171022_111546.jpg 20180113_165744.jpg 20180128_113548.jpg

I think im almost done with the suspension, still have to mount the shock relocation brackets, and get a alignment.
I did go for a short drive around town, and it seems to drive nice and smooth,
