  • Suspension Rebuild

    I am beginning the suspension rebuild on my Jeep CJ-7.


    Current setup is leaf in front and TJ Coil springs in back. Race Runner 14" shocks at corners.

    New setup

    Same 3 link hybrid in back. 4 link new setup with truss in front. ORI 16" shock/struts on the corners.

      Made steady progress this weekend. 4 linkis complete! I have 35.25" lower links and 25" upper. All triangulated to the max I can allow. No hinderance anywhere with full flex. Next up is hydro lines, brake Lines and exhaust relocate. Once the ORI get here I will be rocking again .

        More progress. ORI shocks arrive today. Driveshafts installed and new center brake drop in. Will get new hydro lines tomorrow for steering and install shocks as well. This Sunday I pick up my 39.5 boggers I am trading my 44 for even Steven.

              Wish but with work travel I am for sure not going to be done. This working on weekends is cramping my time frame.

                  had them before and hated them. to much pressure on those places in my opinion.

                            Pics from the side as requested. I got the new radiator completed, left brake line ran, d-ring welded on for chains and struts turned to gain access for the charging ports.
