    Going to look at this cj5. What would cause
    The rear wheels to look off center? Too
    Much lift? They are shifted forward. Can't get
    Photo to upload

    They are forward some when unloaded with a little lift.........the rear shackles move reward under compression and so does the rear axle.........about 1/2 -3/4 of an inch.

    It looks like stock springs with long shackles. Would new springs with 2.5 inch lift center the axle with the right shackles??
