    I have been searching and searching every forum I can think of looking for builds where guys are running toyota mini truck axles in their cj's.
    Apparently it has been done many times, but with very little visual documentation. I have a little 75' 5 that I would like to do this on and would like to see some builds similar first. I want to keep it low and close to stock wheelbase. My jeep is currently running 2.5" lift springs and I may just reuse them, if they prove to be flexible enough. I have no problem running a different spring that would net me the same or approx the same lift and add some flex.

    If anyone has a jeep like this or could point me in the right direction I'd love to see it!

    Thanks -J
