    Hello all,

    I've been looking at suspension lifts and found that the later Cj5's late 70's etc. are a lot cheaper than the earlier CJ5's. I'm looking to raise my Jeep for inches, its a 1972 w/ 304 v-8 plus convert to disc brakes. I've found a dana 30 and a amc 20??? set from a late 70's cj5 and I'm curious what needs to be done to swap them out? I think the leaf springs are wider but I'm not sure. I searched the forum but didn't come up with all the information I needed, or it may have been listed under something else. Please help. Thanks,
    Mike

    do the wranglers springs, very easy to do and worth the work. The hardest part is getting the old spring mounts off.
