If she kills you, mind giving her my number with your dying breath













JK, can't wait. let us know if you need help.

Haha, i will leave your number with her...  

As for help, I will def need it, I have all the parts to get the install going but lack the space and equipment.  And I dont want to drop it off at a shop, I want to be able to learn and gain experience.

My shop
My friends
My pile of money
Perseverance

At times my wife is more anxious than me to get my Jeep done  She hasn't been able to park in our garage since we bought our house ~4 years ago.  I don't think she is getting it anytime soon either 
If your wife knows it will be done faster if you can do it at home that might be some incentive for her to let you do it there.

iv been going back and forth about keeping my RE long arm set up.  I am not sure if Id be better off selling it with the springs and shocks but keeping the belly pan and building the 3link/4link setup off of it.  I already have brackets to do the setup reusing the belly pan.  Any thoughts?

that belly has brackets right?  if not you will need to build a rear cross member and buy/build brackets for the 3 link, plus build another belly pan.

Yes it has built in brackets, I have brackets from ballistic to attach the rear uppers to the frame and will be using their 14 bolt truss to do a single tri-angulated rear.  I also have a bracket to weld to the frame to incorporate the 3 link front.

well, since you have those brackets you might as well use them.  sell RE belly up if you plan on building one.  keep it if you plan on buying one (ie. don't buy one) you will need ~1/2 sheet of steel to make on.
