Or just go to www.rocky-road.com (http://www.rocky-road.com) And find your way to the "JP eater kit" on the sammy page. That is the kit I run.

You might try some other forums too. One of these just had someone talking about this same thing and they had a drawing with measurements for making your own mounts. I can't remember which site it was, but know it was one of these..... zukikrawlers or zuwharrie.
Good luck.

Also the trail tough website has a link back to here for an installation article with lots of good pics.
Look under products then the yj kit for the instructions on the trail tough web site.

The pics are much larger in the article to see every detail.

Yeah that one was the best I found, but again no DXF file. I decided I liked the one that moved the whole back an additional .5" and put in a whole for the ruf/cj swap. However I haven't gotten the template mocked up yet to decide if I want to get them cut out on the plasma. I want to move my axle about 0.5" to 1.0" forward at most. But I would like to move it forward a little. So we will see how it sits.
