Re: CJ7 wide or narrow?
86? Maybe you are lucky and it has the Dana 44 rear like mine?
Maybe the only difference is the fender flares then?
I also snapped my frame in the 'exact' spot as yours! The mount had to
come off for the repair. I just had the outer rail beefed op and left
the inner box shattered. The inner box causes all the troubles anyway,
it was a 'failed' 'add on' to slow down the flex so they couldn't tip as
easy, thank Ralph Nader for that. This just stressed out the frame
causing them to fatigue snap and a place to hold hundreds of pounds of
mud to rot things out. Took two days to hose that sucker out when I
rebuilt her.
I have a frame swap needed in the near future too, just need income for
that...

Re: CJ7 wide or narrow?
Frame and mounts are the same on narrow and wide track.
Anyone know what procomp lift kits are like? This rolling frame has a 4"
procomp lift, but don't know what they are like.

Re: CJ7 wide or narrow?
Frame and mounts are the same on narrow and wide track.
Anyone know what procomp lift kits are like? This rolling frame has a 4"
procomp lift, but don't know what they are like.

Frame and mounts are the same but the front shock mounts will be
different. Wide track had tall shock mounts and narrow track had short
mounts. There can also be a difference in how the rear center brake
line mounts to the cross member. Slight difference in the front brake
line brackets where the lines exit the frame. None of the differences
are serious or difficult to deal with, you just need to be prepared for
them.
