[QUOTE="wheelinjp, post: 908657, member: 15970"] Nice build. I noticed a couple things. one is next time you plate a framerail you might want to make your plates cut at the ends to a point. When you weld on a frame straight down it creates a weak breaking point. you should make the ends like this> or < so it has more weld surface area too. And I would have moved that front axle another 3 to 4 inches forward. You will need all the wheelbase you can get with a cj5. I had to extend my frame on my old cj 4inches to move my axle forward. The springs will settle a couple inches, I would run with them for a few months and see if they settle. Nice upgrades though, keep up the pics. Are you going out the back pretty far with the rear axle for more wheelbase? I just looked at your pics again and a simple solution to two problems would be to cut your front hanger off and weld it to the end of the framerails on the front of them. this will lower it a little and extend the wheelbase a little. then you can just move the rear shackle hangers forward.
