1975 Cj5 SOA steering

Right on, thanks Nick. Really learning alot about this steering stuff even though my jeep no longer has Cj steering. Always like to retain knowledge bout whatever I can.

 

I think you made the right decision. I have put a fair amount of miles on my SOA dropped pitman arm but I would never let somebody else drive it, even in town. It can get pretty hairy if you don't stay on top of driving it!

One of these days I will pull the trigger on that high steer!

 

well i finially finished his spring over (which trust me, involved WAY MORE then just flopping the springs over the axless) and to say the least was a chore and a half. The spring over part is easy, but all 4 of his rear spring mounts were twisted one way like the jeep got smoked by another car from the side and shoved the axle over a good inch. That alone not only screwed up the rear but was twisting the front as well. Took a hole day to straighten the frame back out just to make it sit straight. Also, I pulled 2 leafs out of his front springs and shortened his already too long shackles to get the jeep down a good inch or so (sits a smidge higher then a new 4" sua lift). He ordered a 3 or 4" drop pitman arm and i didn't know bout it till it came in the mail (lucky they sent him one for PS and it didn't work). I told him bout the Arms nickmil sent me a link too and told him that IT IS NOT SMART NOR A GOOD IDEA TO DRIVE THE JEEP AROUND WITH THAT KIND OF STEERING AND IF HE DOES ANYWAYS THEN HE IS TAKING A BIG CHANCE FOR SOMTHING GOING REALLY WRONG AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS JEEP DAMAGE OR BODILY DAMAGE OR WORSE! But he is only doing this to make a niagra rim trail run at the end of the month....so I dont know.
