Re: CJ-7 Spring Over
First off you should be aware of what all that involves:.
Spring perches u-bolts shock mounts shocks brake lines e-brake cables drive shaft length pinion angle belly pan spacers sway bar disconnects pitman arm welding/cutting and about $700 I went ahead and did spring bushings also. Maybe you are already aware of this list, but let's start here... -- JimG 80' CJ-7, 258 CID 35" BFG MT's on 15x10 Centerlines 4.56 D30-D44 SOA D300 w/4:1 & Currie twin sticks Warn 8000i w/dual batteries LockRight F&R "T" <jeep_82usa@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:ArnPb.54192$zs4.19798@fed1read01... > I'm getting ready to do a spring-over on my CJ-7.

CJ-7 Spring Over
I'm getting ready to do a spring-over on my CJ-7. I'd like to hear
about any lessons that you could share. I would appreciate it. Tony |
Re: CJ-7 Spring Over
Hi Tony,
Only if you can't get the height for your humongous tires any other way. The axles on the short leaf side will wrap likes there's no tomorrow, you'll need strong traction bars to keep it from bouncing like a TJ.

Re: CJ-7 Spring Over
Tony ; listen to bill. A friend of mine did one on a 84'' CJ and he is kind
of wishing that he hadn't now. He has broken the front and rear pinion yokes. and now he's try to make a anti wrap bar and having a hard time with it. I'm not saying that it's all bad ,but it is work , and in my book his 84 cj-7 flex's about 1" more then mine with a 4" spring kit. If I was to open up the clamp's around my my spring's I could probably beat that. So in case you haven't though it over real good you might want to. Good Luck!!! Jimmie; 86" CJ-7 to many mod's to list and not even close to being done. "L.W.
