I ordered a replacement front skid and it was thicker than the original
And I either plan to reinforce a factory skid by welding some 3/16 plate to it, or get a Skidrow skid if I stay with IFS.
I'm still trying to decide on this or SFA, as the shop wanting to do the conversion work just quoted me $5200 total contract price for a HP D30, Eaton E-Locker front, and 4.56 geas f/r. And, of course, all the related and necessary parts and fabrication to complete the swap.
Are you sure that's not just the labor charge? If that's what they will do an SFA for, labor included, I'd jump on it! CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely!!!!! Same shop who built my previous two XJ's. That quoted price basically is all labor, as they fab nearly everything in house, so not much buying off the shelf parts except the springs, shocks and coil-overs, so that saves money but increases their profits. And the rear will just be a JBA upper link setup with their custom lower long arms. And with all the extra TJ, XJ, ZJ, and JK parts of all kinds lying around, he said it won't cost me a dime for rear springs and shocks anyways. Same with the front and rear gear sets. This is the same shop who built custom front/rear bumpers and rock sliders for my last XJ for less than $1000 and who did a motor swap on said XJ when it blew the rings for $1100.
