I am in no hurry, plus I want to make sure it's the right thing to do, and
the shaft length will be OK. It's been my experience with the CJ's anyway,
that those frame nuts break loose from the weld, then you are fishing new
nuts up into impossible places.

Here is my theory FWIW:

The orig owner may have first passed on installing adj. control arms and
used the drop kit instead, thinking he was saving money. After
experiencing some driveline vibes even with the drop kit, he installed
the CV driveshaft. JimG might have to buy some adj. control arms to
complete the job. Of course, I'm going on one photo that does not show
everything (including a drop kit) and a vivid imagination.

So what of it, JimG...do you have any adj. upper control arms?

Hey Mike... notice the oil sprayed under there? This Jeep was from
