Got an alignment today after swapping LBJs over the weekend. Minor toe in adjustment only.

You can grind your UCA's down.

Installed my springs and shocks last night and ordered tires today. I've just gotta install my UCA's and diff drop kit as soon as I get back from work this weekend so I can get those tires on and align the beast! I can't wait to see the results!

I don't at the moment. I'll try and post up something here in the near future.

I second a build thread or more pics of this rack. Looks awesome. What type of material exactly?

I just had a garage install new LBJs in my truck, should I plan on doing another alignment?
I did one three months ago when I installed my 32s.

No question....not worth the risk to eat up a pair of tires over 75 bucks
Finished my rack / basket project and installed new rear links...
Progress has been made. Custom rack, modified basket and tent mounted. Still need to figure out lighting and mounting of tools and toolbox.

I obviously did, but I was tempted not to after installing them.
The only impact to alignment I can see would possibly be where the steering tie rods connect to the LJB
The LBJ itself bolts on to the spindle with 4 bolts, two of which are sleeved to align the balljoint to the spindle. There could be minor variation here which could introduce a different relationship between the LBJ and spindle, offsetting the steering again. Also, the hole for the steering tie rod balljoint could be drilled differently.
The markings between the LBJs I pulled off and the ones I installed indicate different castings. I pulled off LF and RF stamped pieces and installed LE and RE castings. Again another opportunity for variation.
In short, yes. Get an alignment.

Been a while since I posted updates, rock lights are in and working like a champ, been working on correcting wiring from 2 years ago when I was in a hurry and still learning on that front. Been out with our local off-roading group every other weekend as the snow melts from the mountain tops we will get higher up.

Looks great!
Just checked your media. What bedliner spray did you use on your flares?

Rustoleum rattle can, that is all we have up here.
But it works well, and cleans up nice!

Nice looking rig, and the flares look good
All the plastics on my rig are faded, and I've been wanting to freshen them up. Rattle can works, and is easy to repair.
You didn't want to just take your flares off to paint them?

Put the '97 to work yesterday. Helped a friend move and framed in a new wall.
