I love your thread. I have read it twenty times. I have some questions. I am trying to pre fab as munch as I can so I have a few questions.Been getting a lot people asking how to build the arms since this is such an easy swap I am going to give a parts break down....

Bushing as you can see there is two option a premade end or just bushing and make your own. You just use leaf spring bushing. When AMC designed the front 4 link setup on the XJ they made with leaf spring bushings since the parts were easy to come by.

The steel needed...
5 foot of square or round .250 wall 2 inch tube.
Some 1/4 plate to cut the bracket pcs.
And some 9/16s or 14mm bolts if pull your axle from the JY take all the lower control arm bolts they are 14mm.
I make my arms 29-30" bolt hole to bolt hole. Longer then that is a waste(unless you have 10 inches of suspension lift) but that is your call. Pretty simple I make my frame mounts 7 inches tall to got up the frame and hang down below the from 3.25". I make them 6 inches long and I set the edge 1/4" behind the last rivet of the front body mount. That puts you right in front of the tranny cross member. And saves a ton of work. You will have to trim a little off the body mount on the frame to get the mount a 1/4" off the rivet.
Ok I have some questions, what year was his B2? Do you remember what drive shaft you use?Thanks man! I get excited everytime I get to build one of these RBV they are so cool and fun to swap. 2 days is my personal best I brought in help cause I knew no way I could toss the rear in during the 2 day window. Austin was a big help I had stay on him a little but he did great.
Yeah Double R is big pimping exo is almost done. And it is for sale. LOL
