    What did you do fender wise? That doesn't look like glass. Did you remove the flares and have the sheet metal pulled?

    looks good man, your work is always detailed.
    id also like a kit with vertical unis upper and lower with fabbed spindle .but with stock length or about 1" wider. i too want to keep as much of the stock body panels as possible.
    i feel the stock balljoint orientation and mount are pretty strong and have pretty decent life. did you keep the oem joints or did you go with a napa unit? wondering if they provide the same misalingment angles. and i feel your pain , this shit kills my back sometimes

    Thanks, yes running the original ball joints right now, need to check out the aftermarket stuff. If only you could fit a lower uniball in double shear and have the kit work for 2 and 4wd, Camburg did on their 1st version of the kit but for whatever reason they changed their design. I imagine there were clearance issues not worth working around or limiting travel or something. That would be a cool kit you are talking about, especially for the 4wd fj/4runner community.
