    I rebuilding a 72 cj5 and to install new tie roads.The frame I bought did not have a sway bar and my 73 cj5. Did it change in year? Also I am going to take of the front and rear axle off clean them and paint them and put them back on.Is their a way to make sure that I get them centered correctly or will they just line up,with the new springs

    They should line up w/o out any problems since your not moving the spring perches. How big of a lift are you putting on??

    The axles will drop onto the pins on the springs.

    There was no sway bar on these Jeeps. There were only minor changes in CJs from 72 through 75, and no drivetrain changes.

    Looks like everyone has pretty much covered it. There wasn't a sway bar, and the axles will line up easily when you put them back in. Wish everything I did was as easy.
