    i have seen kits to bolt up these to our old schtuff. one kits was 100% bolt on, not fabricating at all. this is what i am looking for due to no welder etc. for fabbing. has anyone seen a kit recently that bolts right on?
    i havent really looked through the archives because the one time i did, i think i found alot of fab required.
    if i am mistaking, please point me in the right direction, if not, can someone help me locate this on the web?

    wrangler spring conversion (and maybe SR along with it...)

    thanx guys

    this writeup mentions a "4PlusOffroad" making a kit, but the url now goes to "windrockoffroad.com", and I don't see the kit listed.

    IIRC it had been discontinued. It also weighed ~150 lbs - more than it seemed like it should.

    Have you looked into the Holbrook long leaves?

    I got about 3~4 inches more wheel base out of it. But I pushed my spring hangerss forward and aft as much as possible. I am runing 35" MTRs. At full flex I still manage to rub the tops of the fender wells. But it does work nicely.

    As it is custom work, it should work on any vehicle.

    Yes - for the most part, all CJ5 frames are exactly the same.
