Anyone have any free time this weekend to lend a hand putting these on? I know that I can do it myself, but it would make things easier if I had a second set of hands to assist incase I have to pull the axle one way or the other for the control arms. Lemme know.

I can probably swing by tomorrow afternoon if you can wait that long. I'll check back.

Sorry, I'm trying to fit a little zuki preparation into the middle of a working weekend. If you need a hand for just a bit, give me a call and I can run up there and lend a hand before 7pm.

It shouldn't take long. I've never done a track bar install though, so that is my only area of unknown. I may put this off until Stampede is over.

I got some jackstands today. If anyone wants to swing by and lend a hand, I'll be starting on them in about 20 min or so.

I jacked up my neck somehow last night or I'd be there right now. Sorry man.

Real easy to do. Should only take about 30min or so. Sorry too busy to swing out there.

Got them all on. Luckily, I didn't have to move the axle around much. The trackbar is ready to go on, but I need a 3/8" chuck 5/8" drill bit or a 1/2" chuck drill to drill out the hole in the unibody mount. Other than that, I'm ready to flex the "super flex" and see how it does. Here are some shots:

I am sure you mean frame mount, not unibody. Cherokees are unibody, Wranglers are body on frame.

So how easy was the control arms install? I have to do mine someday, especially now that I have springs too.

I have 1/2" drill or the drill bit you could borrow. Don't know when I could get it to you though.

I got the drill from work. This project is done.
