What a long stressful day... but the cs are on. Driver side took 3 tries. First wasn’t hot enough and I pounded on only to pound off cause it wouldn’t move. Cleaned the tube up a little, iced it and got the c super hot and it slid right on. Got the degrees perfect only for the housing to still be to long. I cut an 1 1/8 out of it and iced it and heated the c again. It slid on but cooled quick so was .5 degree off what I wanted. Cleaned up the c and assembled the hub.
Everything fits but the shaft hits the locking up cap keeping it from turning so I’ll try to put the housing in the press to move the c an 1/8 or just grind the shaft a little.
Other side I cut out 21 3/4 of the tube. The shaft slid in but only had 1/2 in of spline engagement so took another 3/4 of an inch out and it was just right. Did the same thing, iced and cleaned up the housing and left the c on the grill for a while. Tried it and it didn’t even slide on so I found some patience and threw them back in the grill. Half hour or so later it slid right on and was able to match the degree within a .25 degree.
Pretty happy overall. Once I figured out the heat/ice it was very simple. Just stressful with the cuts. The short side is well.. short. Should make the lower mount ineresting. Overall happy with how it turned out. Mad cause I beat the crap out of the one c but happy it’s together and I can start cycling.
Ended up with 15.5 degrees (was shooting for 16) so I’ll do 7 3/4 degrees of pinion angle which will give me 7 3/4 caster

Links laid out. 45 in long lowers. 44.5 in upper. 6.5 degrees on the lowers at ride height. -1 on the upper but I could lower the frame side an inch. I’m not quite sold on the upper mount yet so chopped it up and lowered it and moved it foward some and shortened the upper by an 1.5 to gain some more uptravel. Plan on shortening the wheelbase an inch or two to get the upper behind the ac compressor for more uptravel. Moving along and feel like I made good progress today. Threw a fender on just to see where I was at wheelbase wise as well.

8 or so days of wheeling in moab with only a small leak for me that was fixed. My dads jeepster kept blowing the hydro boost power steering line twice. First time caused a fire. Second time we caught it in time. No damage besides some burnt wire loom
