Thanks to the reply! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

After posting the question I talked to Joe D. and he said that they should fit since the bracket had not changed. I put an order for some and installed them while I had my Trooper broken down for an ARB locker install.

The installation went well. Here is a second write up for the newer Troopers it also includes pictures:

ARB & Drop Diff Install

I don't think it should be a problem.

Check very carefully. There are some dynamic forces in effect that may not allow it to contact hard, but even if it is close, it will cause that boot to be cut.

I had problems at 1.25".

2000Trooper - I really like the way your write up turned out. Especially the pics. Between the two, there should be plenty of info.

Nice job <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Starchild , Hey Thanks, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I like the way you cut the bracket to fit without the extension brackets. IÆm thinking of doing the same thing. I just need to locate a good welder or come up with some money to finally buy a mig welder.

Thanks for the heads up Michael <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I should get a chance to flex it out next week and see how it looks. Mike (Rodeoguy) is the only one I know who's run these brackets for any length of time. He's had no issues that I know of, and he didn't clearance. He is running them on a 96, which I beleive has different control arms.

I figured that I could clearance the arms with everything in place with a die-grinder if the need arises (very carefully of course <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />)

Body Damage is Cool
Nice write up Andre. Nope I've had no problems on my 95.5 (same suspension as yours). The closest it comes to rubbing on anything is the bolt heads for the lower balljoint. Even then its not close enough to cut anything, I think they grazed the boot just enough to clean a little dirt off. But if that were a problem, you could replace those with carriage bolts, no need to clearance the arm.
