Build Thread Starting from the frame 1977 CJ5
I think Rustbuster says to leave 1.5" of old material (you can see I cut mine down quite a bit - frame is bottom up in the photo). I started out just cutting out the bottom surface so I could get the new part flush and then as I cleaned things up I found more rot and went almost to the max.
I was dealing with the section near the spring hanger so I measured from the front hanger to make sure it ended up in the same spot. I would measure from spring hanger to the shackle hanger before you remove it and then match it up (doesn't your repair part have the shackle hanger nuts welded in to pre-mount?).
