im wanting to do a radius arm front and rear suspension on the cj5. using 34x10.50 swampers. moving the front axle foward enuff to have a 90 degree approach angle. it has a 304.

my question is what springs and shocks would you guys recomend?

it will be street driven often. and it doesnt have to ramp a 1000.
 
nobody wants to chime in on this??:confused:

ive been doin some reasearch and i belive i'll be doing three link suspensions.

what do yall think about using stock tj coils?
 
Good call on going with a 3-link over a radius arm...

What are you going to do about steering with the axle pushed that far forward?

If you're gonna be streeting this thing often, there are much more important things to consider than what springs and shocks you choose.
 
not sure about steering yet. it looks like i'll only have to move the axle foward 2-3 inches. it wont be daily driver but it will be driven on ocasion.

ive never built a link suspension for a 4wd so i'll be the first to admit im not entirely sure what all is involved. done link suspensions under drag cars.

what other things do i need to look into?
 
On my radius arm setup on the TJ, I am running TJ Rubicon Express springs and Pro Comp Shocks that are for an Excursion with 6" of lift. I have a build thread you can look at.
