Got the Jeep Back Today...

[dnixon]

Okay well I got the jeep back today but.... the rear brake line threads weren't correct so I have no brakes... I'll have to give crawltech a call on that one... The front fit just not the back... then then they put the U-bolt plates on The arm on the plate which connects up sway bar is now in the way of where the shocks would be...Should I just cut that off??? I have no front stabilizer until I can get a kit. The work looks pretty good but they bolted everything up for my RB kit then they WELDED it up.. I told them I didn't want that... but nothing I can do now I guess... The the barely grinded on the front housing didn't really round out he bottom either though.. The made the front perch into a kind of sideways L shape it looks kind of interesting... I dont' know If I like it or not.. DPA is all fitted up so that is all good..
NOW... What can I do about the E-brake?
Also.. My gas tank.. its been sitting out for a while should I worry about condensation?? Should I just get rid of the gas and try to clean the tank?? Or should I just bolt it up and not worry about it... thanks for any advice... Also I need to do this all by this weekend.. all the time I can reserve for the garage... thanks...

Dnixon,
On the ubolt plates, where the sway bar links normally went, you can use that now for the lower shock mount if you want, especially if you have your stock length shocks.... Cant use it with the sway bar anymore, youll have to fab new mounts for the sway bar.

What kind of brake lines did you get?

It sounds good, how much lift did you get?
If you still have the stock rubber "T" brakeline, you can put a spacer between the "T" and the axle tube. I did that using a small tube cut to about 3", got a longer bolt to go thru "T" that threads into the axle tube. This can at least get you by til you get the right ones.

Here's what I did with the ubolt plates and sway bars:

I wanted to keep the sway bars and have the longest possible shocks. It's hard to see but I was able to use the steering stabilizer bracket also, it's behind the tie rod and is between the spring and ubolt plate. Anyway, not sure if that helps but thot I'd share...
