    Aiming to bring top of the line suspension, at a very affordable cost. As well as helping the off-road community
    lol its a full hydro JMR bender. Up until the point we moved into the shop everything was built with a JD2 manual bender stuck into the back of a trailer hitch haha.

    What I built:

    It's amazing actually using the degree wheel ha

    And LSK I'm super jealous of the full hydro setup!

    Hahah yeah looking at the degree wheel as apposed to counting the notches is great. I wish there was some way to retract the HFR without getting a heavy spring, but the amount of time it takes to pull it back and bend again is too nice.

    Crazy idea... but...

    If I wanted to replace my All Pro lower control arm with a home built one (boxed) so I could run a secondary shock, that wouldn't be near as difficult as building from scratch like a lot of you do because I would be able to build the jig with the AP LCA. As long as all mounting points remain in the same relation to each other, seems like it would not be that difficult. I would copy internal supports of the many boxed LCA's I've seen built here, racedezert, and dezertrangers.

    Just thinking out loud... my welding needs a bit more development before I undertake such a project. I could always tack everything and bring it to a professional to get TIG'd, though...

    I had anchors in my side walk in front of my house before I moved into my shop. Now I'm converted to full hydro. Single shot 90* in 1.75 DOM in 30 seconds.
