Just finished up Barnes tube sleeves, C gussets, and lower control arm skids. It is highly recommended to change the ball joints after welding the C gussets on, so we installed new moog ball joints as well. We also helped the 3.8 in the Jeep with some new motive 5.13 gears. All the work was performed on a 2008 Jeep jk rubicon.

The lower control arm skids look great! I should probably look into this whole setup for my JK.

Thanks. You should definitely do this to your jk. This is easy insurance for any stock axle including Tj’s

Got a friend that ask me to weld c gussets on his J.K. I’ll tell him about the ball joints. Good info thanks.

I need to do control arm skids on mine. They are getting beat up pretty bad. Hey Cole, maybe you can go pull the pics of the project you did on mine and put it up. If you have time.

I can do that if my old phone will reboot. I think I still have a ton of those pictures

Mounted 5 Raceline monster beadlocks today for a Jeep Jk. Paired with 35x12.50R17 BFG km3

Installed tpms sensors

Some tire manufacturers have thicker beads than others, so Raceline now sells ring spacers to prevent bolt failures.

Also balanced them

those blue racelines are trick! I like that they accommodate the thicker bead. prevents the ring from coning so bad.

Those spacers are pretty neat. Does that say you should replace beadlock bolts every year?

How much weight did those things take?

Yeah it does say that but I don’t know anyone that does.

Around 8oz per side. It was smooth at 70 mph
