Longest thread ever?

Replace my rear crossmember, installed some rear corner armor and installed flush tail lights. Glad I did, was't much of the bolts left. Never seen bolts rust down this far.

I almost jumped in way to far. After measuring the new shackles it will give me around 3" alone so if In did a SOA it would be way more lift than In wanted. If I'm not mistaken early in the thread it said you get around 4" from soa.

I installed new style tail lights. Next is finish my rear crossmember and replace my body bushings then get it painted.

Bump

Thanks for responding so quick. I took a second look at the original se up on the steer axle. I don't really want to cut into my frame but you are correct. To get the spring eyes as close to the same measurement as possible you would need to weld in a bushing sleeve in the frame and reinforce it...

I am in the process of doing a SOA lift while doing some other mods. I'm replacing the rear crossmember and the rear SOA is kinda simple taking drive line angle, shocks and brake lines into consideration. On the front I am swapping the spring hangers front to back and moving the shackles behind...

No I'm keeping my CJ and trying my best to keep it original as I can. It would be a nice progect but I have my hand full with my CJ. I was going to trade a rifle for it. Its one I don't use much but I guess I will keep it. Thanks for all the input guys.

Ok this wagon has a straight axle under the front, looks like an old ford axle. The guy says someone took the drive axle out and replaced with this one to make a street rod. With that said with all the rust and then finding a donor chassis like a K5 for axles, steering & suspension whats it...

Guess I'll see

Yes it is

I have a Dana 20 for sale. All bearings & gears are good but would replace output seals for sure before installing. Linkage needs to be tighter but shifts as is. Asking $150.

She's still mad :-)
