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....

Here is link to link ends from Ballistic this truck I used Currie JJ but I had them handy so that is why.

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.

Bung ends two choices square or round the .250 wall square is cheaper then the .250 wall DOM by half...

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.

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.
1. What is the upper control arm measurment?
2. Did you fab a new drag link? Pitman arm a drop one?
3. I like your leaf spring bushing end link . Do you have a close up pic of it? I really want to copy it. Is it adjustable also?
4.Do I need a Jeep sway bar or can I use the b2 one with jeep disconects?
Thanks, I cant wait to start on my 87 b2 .

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

Ok I have some questions, what year was his B2? Do you remember what drive shaft you use?
