- 73 CJ5 4.0 head on a 258, HEI, Holley Projection w/ 4.56, Detroit lockers Narrowed D44 front and full float D44 rear T14 w/ D20 4 wheel discs, 38.5 Boggers
I moved mine out 3" and ran the 1/2" mounting plates through the 2"x4" tube. Added a 1/4" plate on. She can really take a side pull. Plenty of room to the radiator. I left the ends open and they work great for putting the Hi-Lift in the ends. Keeps them pretty stable too. Don't scratch the POR while jacking either. That other 1/4" plate in the rear is the MORE shackle reverse plate.
