Default My ZJ ... Nickname ZED got a huge suspension makeover

Ok guys so I picked up this 94 grand cherokee for next to nothing (I traded my 88 Yamaha banshee on literally it's very last leg. Lol) it had a blown motor when I got it but the guy I got it from gave me another motor for it saying it was rebuilt blah blah blah, anyways it's up and running and I recently made a purchase from the guys at Iron Rock Off-road a 7" critical path long arm kit and within 24hours of it showing up on my doorstep I started the transformation. Of my new grand cherokee from pavement princess to rock crawling animal. Lol I have to give props to those guys at iron rock, if I told you this stuff is beefy I would be lying to you this stuff looks unbreakable! Having said that in plan on doing my best to test my theory hahaha I'm not going to be nice to poor Zed ... That is as soon as this crazy northern Wyoming snows stops! Here are some pics I wimped out flexing on the hoist it still had a ways to go but it wasn't exactly the most stable place. Lol Sorry for the crappy pics my cell sucks!

It's not hard to make suspension arms that are stronger than the factory thin control arm mounts on the axles. If your abusive you should seriously consider plating/bracing all the factory axle mounting brackets.

Maybe it's just the picture, but it looks like your front suspension is doing all the work and the rear axle is still parallel to the chassis.
