[QUOTE="Fouledplugs, post: 427806, member: 18666"] A few parts to stretch the rear arrived today from Motobilt. A rear weld on bumper with recovery points and leaf spring shackle hangers, frame tie ins, and rear shackles. I waited until their black Friday sale which shaved a little over $60 off of it. [ATTACH type="full"]116785[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]116786[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]116787[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]116788[/ATTACH] The motobilt stretch “kit” will be welded to the most rear part of the frame. There is a factory crossmember there which can be removed if so desired. I will likely remove it and replace it with some DOM tube, if space allows, then have the rear kit welded on. The kit comes with frame tie ins that are welded in place on each outside frame rails. The kit stretches the rear a full 6 inches with XJ springs or 4 inches dependent upon the case of certain offset springs that Jeep has used under other models. I have some doubts that I will be able to run a full 6 inches of stretch while still using a under tub fuel tank, even with the stretch tank I purchased from Genright. Time will tell and I will find out during mock up, with the goal of getting the Spidertrax axle as far back as I possible can while keeping the tank under there. [URL unfurl="true"]https://motobilt.com/collections/jeep-yj-87-96/products/jeep-yj-wheelbase-stretch-kit[/URL] A pair of Genright axle shock mounts for the Spidertrax axle also arrived today.
