    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.

    do you want the mains back from those cherokee packs you gave me? I've been carrying them around for you
    is there not room to inboard the coils on those? What about air shocks?

    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.

    i think you have to trim the cherokee yokes to make then fit a d300. maybe just the dust cover though. i have atlas front yokes on mine.

    Change the dust covers with the stock ones.

    So I assume you flipped el 300? How'd you go about that?
