i have a set of dana 60s im going to set up and put on my 80 cj7, but i want to extend the wheelbase, but keep leaf springs, and frame stock length. i was told that the cherokee springs will push the rearend back a bit, but im loking to run about a 99 inch wheel base. any ideas

 

Bad Idea to put 46in claws on anything that Jeep makes! lolz

 

Use a shackle reversal kit on the front, that will push it forward about 1.5 inches, I used 1/2 ton chevy 4" lift springs with the second from the top leaf taken out with buggy springs on the back for extra articulation in the front and on the rear I used a 1ton dodge axle leaf for the top and the bottom 3 leafs of an xj pack and that pushed the rear axle back about 5-7 inches, my overall wheel base was around 103-105 (its been a couple years) but it was pretty nice and flexible

 

 

Looks nice ! How does it do on the road

 

it was nice, everything except for the frame and body panels was new so it drove pretty perfect. I didnt run sway bars and I drove it accordingly, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would have been honestly.

 

Are those 35s on that jeep? I think 46in claws are a little different story. That was a really cool looking jeep btw.

 

those were 36's, I also had a set of 44" boggers that went on it for the mud pit and it was an interesting drive, I never went over 45mph though
