84 CJ7 4 banger-owned since new in 1984 bought off truck at dealership - rebuilding 258, T176 with Sniper EFI D300 4:1 Lomax gears Twin Sticked 1 piece axels with locker
I’m late part to the party.
I ordered YJ oldman emu 2 1/2 inch lift did the shackle reverse and Fox 2.0 shocks.
Holy smokes what a difference
OME also makes extra leaf spring, which I added front and rear.
The droop is phenomenal. Sway bars front and rear for highway.
The ride is wonderful.
Keep in mind my early CJ had inch and three-quarter wide spring.
Good luck
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 wanted more stability on the highway and less wander. The front will dive on hard braking but with the Fox shock I adjusted the damping to compensate for that.
This turd is coming off my lift either today or Tuesday. Once it does my Jeep goes on.
Besides the long awaited suspension I'm going to try and fix my engine placement issues (sitting way to far forward in the bay) some electrical gremlins and a few upgrades like new u joints in the front axle shafts.
On your engine placement. Not sure what engine you have or mounts but I have seen where R and L mounts were swapped moving the engine forwards. I'm pretty sure you would catch that, but I thought I would throw that out there.

Appreciate it. It's the mounts that have been in there since I got it almost 20 years ago. They are correct (left and right) I'm thinking the frame side mounts might be 4 banger. (Jeep always had a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l but not sure if it left the factory that way) I have a customer who has a second set of AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l frame mounts (yes one is different than what I have) I'm going to try that first and see if it makes a difference. If not I'll drill new holes and move it where I want

O no. That thing was fairly straightforward. Rear disc brake conversion, stainless steel brake lines. Drilled and slotted rotors front and rear. Resealed the 3rd member, new leaf springs and bushings.
