Well I started this project about 2 months ago and am finally getting it somewhere. I have owned this CJ for about 7 years and she went from 31" to 33" and now 37's. the 304 was tired, the T-150 --well enough said about that. The wheelbase is going to be 109". overall body lenght will be 15" longer then stock. I will be able to pack in 3 kids and a wife with storage.
Its getting a rebuilt 360, 3550 tranny, d-300(soon will add 4 to 1 kit), D-44 front and an ugly 14 bolt in rear. Tires will be cooper 37's

I went a little more radical, bumping my Wb up to 118. But the addition you have planned will be like night and day. You will enjoy it.
