i have my axles and tonite at work i am going to do some "government work" and make my adaptors for fitting the springs to the axles. i will be copying the skyjacker style from lowrangeoffroad.com
my question is who has done this, and what are some tips for steering and brake lines as they will need to be longer

If your going to make springs work I would suggest going right to YJ springs. Much more flexy and rides some much better. I did Trail toughs kit.
