    Then you would run into spacing issues with the control arms without spacers. due to the backspace of the jeep wheels. plus you would have your hub center sticking out of the center of your front wheels. spacers are safe. I did lots of research before I considered it. then I met a few people...

    ONE AND A HALF (one and a half inch spacer). lol the center of the hub is too large for the hub opening on the factory jeep wheel. its the same lug pattern and size (5x5). so a spacer can be used to clear the hub.

    Custom door hinge bushings

    I do agree with you there. I guess im aiming toward a super glued band aid fix. eventually when the wife and I buy a house with a yard and possibly shop, I plan to do an almost complete tear down for some well needed cleaning and repairs.

    Custom door hinge bushings

    So I have a sort of hook up at a machine shop. I asked the guy to copy the door hinge bushing, but instead of making them out of the bronze or whatever they are, I wanted them made out of aluminum. he is still in the process of making them. the reason I want them this way is because ive had...
