Looks good. Hoping to get going on my project soon. If you change the offset of the wheel you can keep the tire off the radius arm.

The reason the tires hit the radius arm is because the "uni-frame" is so wide. If we would have move the rear pivot of the radius arm in a little the tire wouldn't rub.

Well....First off sorry it took me so long to answer I haven't been on the site in awhile. The XJ is strapped at 18" of travel with 14" sway a ways. The body was enforced with lots of plate and tubing, we took it to the last MDR race and it handled amazing. Recently Paul and I got a 9" for the rear but it's going to be a lot harder to link then it was to beam, with the limited up travel jeeps get in the rear we are going to be doing a lot of work to "notch" the uni-body.

great job...the beams look great on the cherokee....like they were ment to be there. As the kids say: "It takes sack to do major mods on a unibody".

Good luck and thanks for sharing. I will think about you next time I ***** about having to weld to a little sheetmetal.:D
