Hey gang,
I'll be tackling this install on my 1981 CJ7 258, today, and would appreciate any tips I can get. I got it from 4WD.com
It appears the rear end is pretty simple....space the brake line and bolt everything on.
The fronts are more involved, since I have to do some grinding to install new shackle hangers, but I've got a fair handle on that.
I'm most concerned about drivability issues, afterwards. I went with the 2.5" package because I wanted to avoid castor and driveshaft problems. I know shimming to create the correct angles isn't difficult, but it seems kinda band-aid-ish to me.
Anyway, I'd love to hear from any of you with experience with this kit.
Matt
