Just posted more updates, not sure how to tag you in the post haha Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

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...

Yep I realized that after I was looking at em, I may still give it a shot but I'll probably order new ones, might as well just take my time and do it right, I just get impatient waiting on parts [emoji28] Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

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

My bad didn't realize that haha 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...

Yep was thinking a lot on that, running into a lot of things we didn't think about already haha So after mocking up the rear we realized the springs alone aren't gonna give us the amount stretch we want, so I'm gonna have to move he front hangers of the rear springs back about 6" to get it...

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...

Getting the axle perches set up this weekend, debating if I want to truss them before I put em up or not, probably should haha Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

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

Thanks! This is my first real build of this kind so I'll probably post on this thread quite a bit with questions haha also trying to post plenty of progress pics, even if it's as simple as cleaning up and painting springs haha 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

Ordering yj front leaf springs from crown auto, 4 leave packs, heavy duty or standard duty? Haha Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Can't beat the look of a classic jeep, can't wait to get this thing on some real trails Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I've had it for a few years and just putt around town in it while I'll build my tj and Cherokee and feel it's about time it gets some real attention haha Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Didn't have much time today after work. Got the rear tire carrier and all the brackets off, tail lights, the filler neck, and started stenciling the comp cut. Also found a set of yota rear springs I was looking for at a local junkyard, looking for yj fronts next. More pics tomorrow if I get the...

So here's another question..I need to figure out a high steer set up for this axle. It's out of a 70s model j10, passenger side drop. Are there kits available or something for another axle that will work for this? Ide rather not ghetto rig anything haha Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE...
