We lowered it 7 1/2" from the way it used to be.............. did it out of our shop.... It required making all new shock mounts and fabricating a new box in the rear........ The front required cutting holes in the fender wells and running the shock up under the hood.........

Nice. Y'all do this for fun? Or is it a business (or after-hours business offshoot, like some other car related workshop or something)?

It's all for fun.... The main advantage I have over the average wheeler, is that my family owns a sheet metal shop, so fabbing custom equipment is no biggy..... but, all of the jeep stuff is done at our personal shop. All of my friends, my dad, and even a few of my family members are into this sport. We are how ever, thinking about opening a shop. We work on our jeeps, friends jeep, and our friend's friends jeeps almost monday through sunday in the evenings. Here is what we are building right now; '97 Xj, 46" claws, 2.5 ton rockwells, 1 link w/ xj coils........
