Thanks for saying why the spacers is important

Good hot Tack weld joints in. Let cool between welds so you dont melt the joint. I did that to mine it's the best way to do it even if they do fit tight

I wheel the hell out mine. Trust me when I say weld a bead on them ball joints. And each end cap on your axle shafts.

Nice more zj videos we need more zj diy on the RUclips

Will do. Thank you

on your ball joint press, if you use red bearing grease on the acme thread it will work better and last alot longer. after i installed my new ball joints, i used the same press for the upper control arm bushings😁

It's a rental lol but yes that would make it easier I usually use arp bolt lube on my things

@@thomasbeyer ah i see, theyre dirt cheap on ebay and amazon so i figured it was yours lol

[@thomasbeyer]

I'll get a good one soon iv always worked somewhere that I could borrow one so it was never a problem before. Definitely want a better kit than this one.

What did you use for a cheap shock extender?

Watch zj on 33s with 3 inch lift for more details. But if I remember right i used some 3/8 all thread joiner pieces from the local tractor supply
