Nope, They are for sale. We are doing a Triangulated 4-Link in the Back. The brackets would hang low as all get out, and The Libby's Uni-body is too wide stock anyways and I am Plating mine with 1/4" all the way too the back.

Thanks for the offer of help, there is a Computer in the garage it's being built in.We are extending those rough country arms quite a bit just for that reason same for the front Arms, would have built from scratch but this kit is cheap enough to make up for it. I bought a set of 76 Ford Full size Axels today Dana44/Dana60 (8 Bolt), but I don't have the money to rebuild them right now so FW's are in mines future as well. We are holding off on the NP231/Dana300 until then as well, it will probably run on the 30 for a year then go to The FW's.

Toyota FJ80, They are a little tall I think but hopefully they sag down a little under the weight of the new rear bumper.

I bought a Long Arm Upgrade kit from Rough Country for a 6" lifted TJ/LJ too get the arms, and I will be running 35x12.5R15 General Grabbers. Also this is no kit just lots of random parts lol.

So what are you going to do about the fuel tank? When I was putting on my skid for the tank I saw the straps that hold the tank and it seems possible to move it a little.

Riddler MFG. Diff Cover on the 8.25", It's way thinner than the Stock cover. It may actually move back another 1/2" inch depending on how the rear travels once the Arms are finished.
