Re: CJ-7 Spring Over
 

Jim, Thanks. I was wondering if I forgot anything. Doesn't look like it.

Re: CJ-7 Spring Over
 

1. Do any other swaps (tranny, T/C, etc) that you have planned at the same
time. Cause you're probably gonna have to have your drivshafts re-done. I
had to have both of mine re-done, and now I'm doing a tub swap with tranny
swap (TF727) and I'm afraid I might have to have my rear driveshaft
shortened about back to where it was originally because of the added length
in my new tranny.

2. You don't HAVE to buy the expensive extended braided steel brake lines.

3. Cheap and easy extended front shock mounts

Bill, I've got REALLY stiff aftermarket springs, BDS I think, so I hope
that wrap won't be as bad as stock.

Thanks, T
