Get a LJ frame and put the body on it?

 

[Reed]

easiest way is gettin some XJ springs

hey jon what did u use to make that set up?

Angle iron welded to make the right size channel, bolted to the existing frame, backwards XJ leafs and sliders from Speedway Motors.

those sliders are badass. Do you have any problems with them or anything you would change. I might need to look into those, it looks like it could help me lower my jeep some.

I stretched the rear of my Jeep. I used channel to extend the rear out, boxed it all in and made a storage compartment inside with a lid.
I used 2X2 heavy wall tube to extend the the front part of the spring mount back wards, and a piece of 2X2 down from the frame.
Not the prettiest, but was quick and easy.
The center of my wheel is now where the rear of the Jeep used to be.

check the fuel tank, I have heard that your axle will hit it and cause problems. I don't know personally though.

That's with dakota leafs.

I also welded a 4" extension on the rear of mine, used XJ springs. I relocated my gas back 4" as well by drilling a few hole and everything cleared with the D44. That is until I put the 14B in

when you guys stretched it and did the comp cut where would you guys relocate your body mounts? would u just move them in take them off where would they go?thanks again for all the ideas guys. Thanks Drew
