Not sure how the MC Rear bracket is. With mine it's tight around the joint and stays put. Makes it easy to nudge the body until the holes line up. Front -obviously just have somebody turn the steering wheel.

if you didn't want to replace the drive shaft immediately, would this work as an alternative to an exhaust spacer?

i ordered two weeks ago. i called to check status. they said it would have shipped but they are waiting on powder coating for the front and rear bumpers. so, if i had just ordered the lift, it would have arrived in about 3 weeks. looks like it will be more like 4-5 because of the bumpers.

The machine has been metal cloaked in green!
2 inch bumpstops all the way around. Also not pictured I hacked the back of the exhaust off to clear the rear trackbar.
overall I netted about half an inch from the new 3.5 inch springs (with the old lift in the back and a 70 lb bucket of tools) over the old 3 inch springs with a 3/4 inch spacer (mostly in the back empty)
Checked flex and bumpstop clearance all the way around. Next up ill be calling a buddy for a fender trim, thats if I dont tear them off tonight
I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends
