Yup, I gave them a call after someone had mentioned the drop ship thing from Quadratec and I called dave and he sent them out that day. They got here in 4 days!

NORTHRIDGE 4X4 IS WHERE I BUY 90 PERCENT OF MY STUFF. THE OTHER 10 PERCENT IS USED.

Just got the rear sway bars end links installed. They allow the sway bar to clear the frame without scratching the paint. You can see in some pics where the sway bar was scratching the frame from the teraflex end links. These are rubicon express RE1157 Rear links. They measure 11.5 inches. They were designed for their 3.5 inch lift so they work great for my 4 inch lift.

Spoke with STeve today about the shocks and he told me to use a tripple ought steel wool pad to clean them up. If it doesnt work he will work with me to replace it. Full traction is understaffed and you will get little contact from them. Contact your dealer for most probs. Which I did but still got little word back. Overall tuff call to make on the customer service.

Still for the price and ride quality I am loving the FS5100 Full Traction shocks.

Installed the Crown brake lines today. Had to drill into the frame for the new crown mounts, not fun but these things are awesome! Also used a brake kit to bleed the brakes. Great stuff. Thanks to WOL for the write up, both the brake lines and the bleeding part!

AFTERMATH



BRAKE BLEEDER KIT AND FLUID



CROWN SELF TAPPING SCREW AND MOUNT



DRIVERS SIDE



PASSENGER SIDE





I have 9 inch sway bar links and they are not inverted at full droop so the rear links off the Jeep are good for up to 4 inches. Maybe 5 inches but may cause them to invert.

9 INCH SWAY BAR LINKS, THESE ARE THE STOCK REAR LINKS MOVED UP FRONT



AT FULL DROOP 27.5" IN MY CASE, LINKS ARE NOT INVERTING THE RUBICON SWAYBAR!

Why did you do this? I installed my Crown lines using their brackets and attaching them to the factory frame mount.

I did not want to bend the hard brake lines in fear of kinking them. Turned out great though!

First Wheeling trip with this custom suspension. I must say that the flex is unreal and everything worked as planned. I love this setup.

Video of the first hill. Many hills are much steeper and higher. But I will have to wheel this one again to get that footage.
