Single shear ...ya need to fix that!
I thought pretty hard about going double shear on it, but decided not to. Glad I did, it's worked out well, with no muss or fuss. I'm sure a double shear could be packaged to not lose any uptravel with the low lift on the Jeep, but it would have been more fabrication project than I'm up for by myself. Any of the prefabbed weld on brackets I've seen would take away uptravel I'm not wanting to lose from the setup.
Replaced that crappy BDS with a good Currie, that replaces that stupid little TRE with a 5/8 grade 8 through a 2-1/2" johnny joint.
I don't think I need to worry too much about ripping that frame side mount off the front. Could happen, but it hasn't, and I'm thinking it's probably not going anywhere. The 5/8 bolt and JJ aren't going to break either. Trackbar never was the limit on droop on this Jeep - shocks are, but the JJ in single shear articulates well.
Now watch, that front frame bracket is going to tear off next time I get four hours from cell service again
