Don't know if this is a good idea or not, but I've seen it done a few times.

That works good if you don't mind having a ton of lift. as you can see the coil bucket it probably 2-3 inches lower than stock. I don't want that much lift, or to have to go back to short coils.

wait, what am i saying, i get joy from seeing you trash your jeep. go ahead!
The jeep may look trashed but underneath everything is well taken care of. I drove it 20,000 miles since I have put the lift on it and I haven't had a single problem except one rear u-joint from wrong pinion angle.

i may have missed this in the previous pages. why do yuo want to put leaves on it and get rid of the stock design suspension with future plans of a 4 link. is it just for more wheelbase? why not deal with it until your ready for the 4 link?

well it has to do with more wheelbase and more importantly more driveshaft after I but the doubler in. I will probably get the cherokee main leaves back from Eric and then just pick up random springs from the junkyard

ok, ive got the doubler together, I just need to weld the side piece in. I also have the 300 torn down and put back together, all of the bearings, races and gears look good.
Now all I need to do is figue out what I want to do for shifters and paint both of them.
I also need CV yokes but Chreokee yokes will fit so just need to get some of those from the junkyard.

i guess when I told bob to pick out a good 300 he did just that. Sorry to be so short with you, but I had to be somewhere, so I hope you didn't think I was brushing you out in a hurry the other day.

Change the dust covers with the stock ones.
So I assume you flipped el 300? How'd you go about that?
