Been a bit since I updated this but here's where I'm at so far. Got the bumper fab'd up, move the rear shackle plates, and mocked up some cheap autozone shackles until my ordered ones show up. If you look closely we didn't use the longest option on these shackles so don't worry lol going with...

The "shop", aka the covered parking in my driveway in base housing where we aren't allowed to do vehicle maintenance in our driveway haha currently "not" stretching and building a cj5 in my driveway hahaha Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Got the old hangers off and moved them about 8" back, that with the rear leafs with the centerpin offset to the rear, were getting about 12" total stretch. We haven't set the perches up leaf over on the new axle, so to mock up the new springs we just flipped the old axle over haha we need to...

Comp cut the cj, dropped the fuel tank, and started getting the frame ready to stretch. Picked up some steel rect tube from the steel yard today after work, will start cutting and welding this weekend probably A spare 35 sitting roughly where I want it to sit. Will be leaf over, so a lot...

I need to move the rear spring hangers back about 6" to get the stretch I want, do y'all think I can re use them? It looks like they are only welded in one spot and bolted underneath. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Here are a few cj5 builds I've been referencing. I just picked up a set of dana44s from a j10 that I'm using. I have a 79 cj5 with the 304 v8. I'm stretching the rear end 10", setting it up leaf over on yj springs up front (shackle reversal gains like 1-2" stretch to the front), and...

So I'm running into something I'm unsure about. The passenger side perch on the front axle is partially on the dif, im trying to decide how to flip it to leaf over, and don't know how I want to move it to the top. Here's a picture of it so y'all can see what I mean Could I incorporate the...

The springs are finished up. Need to order new bushings, and need to get the perches on the axle moved so I can start mocking things up Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Rear yota springs pulled from the junkyard today, cleaning em up and primer and paint, even though it's just gonna get beat on the rocks, they deserve some love haha Waiting for them to dry to flip and primer, then dry and semi gloss black Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Got the front axle cleaned up pretty well today. I'm not tearing it all apart quite yet but will get there haha Will be cutting off the old perches and setting up the soa perches throughout this week. The weekend is really the only time I have to make real progress unfortunately haha...

Starting the cleanup! Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

So I'll start off with the questions right away. I'm trying to decide on which leaf spring setup to use. I believe the cj5 has a 83" wheelbase, and ide like to push it back to 91"-93". I don't want too much overhang on the shackles but I realize that can't be completely avoided. So if this...

Well I picked up the j10 Dana 44 axles today in Phoenix and they are WIDE. Definitely excited hahaha It was dark when I got home but here's some shots sitting next to the jeep Gonna start cleaning them up tomorrow and measuring out everything to move the perches and set em up for SOA...

Well to start off I'm relatively new to the world of jeeps. I have a 2001 tj on long arms and 35s, my wife's 95 Cherokee long arms as well. And then we have recently inherited my grandfathers 79 cj5. He loves seeing us do what he always wanted to do with it. So of course we want to build it...

Alright so I just installed a 6in longarm kit on my 2001 TJ. I haven't upgraded shocks or springs yet because I want to do the SYE kit before I go up on height from my old 3.5in lift. The problem is now I flex too much for the old setup! Who thought you could have too much flex!? Hahaha..alright...
