    I saw a kit released earlier this year. I thought it was Daystar, but it didn't show up on their product page. I'll try to remember. It was a polyurethane set. Maybe someone else saw it too. Quadratec? 4WD?

    Energy suspension part number for the 72-75 cj5 (#[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]2.4106) these should work but you may be missing a 2 body mounts. You can call them and ask. [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]1(949) 361-3935 [/FONT]

    What you can do is a buy a 3 inch body lift kit for a CJ and then cut them in half. Thereby giving a 1.5" body lift and the 13 necesssary pucks.

    CJ will fit, but you will be short a couple of mounts. Not sure how thick the stock mounts are, but just buy a CJ body lift kit that is appropriate. 1" maybe? Cut them in half to get a stock size puck. I will check a couple of sources I have book marked somewhere to see if anyone is making kits for Jeepsters.
