Looks like you just need to put a bunch more spiders in your jeep.

Well i had 10 minutes so i took a very quick solo trip towards the start of the canyon in 2wd..
Didnt find much out, but i do need to trim a tab bit off the rear corners and also my front bumpstops i must have been hammered when i put them on... There not horrible, but i am wasting a tad bit of uptravel.. With that stupid big ass truss i need all the uptravel i can get so I will be redoing them. Not anything big enough right there to test to make sure the front shock was off the frame, but even if it hits, i have a plan to fix it. I should have brought a ruler to see where my shocks where at and how much more I had, but I was in a rush to just drive the damn thing for 5 minutes....

Well ball joints are done for now.... Need to double check them tomorrow to make sure i didnt go overkill on the camber.
It took forever, both side seals were all shot and axle tubes had some shit in them... But got most of it cleaned out and replaced crucial seals and 2 blown bearing also. I will clean more and pain all the knuckles and such when i tear it back down for new axle shafts/gears.
Plan on getting some smaller things done tomorrow.
