    Crane insn't charging me extra to change the size and taper, i was emailing them to ask if they would. And i looked earlier chevy one ton ends are about $45 each.

    did you try talking to parts mike, if they will change the taper/size for no charge or close to nothing you will be out the door for about 220 plus shipping

    and heres my idea for rear shock mounts, cj rear shocks are attached to the spring plates and when i go spring over the plates will be to high to be of any use, i these will be welded to the axle tube. They are made from 1 1/2" by 1/4" box and i made them effecttivly act as skids, they will be welded level with the axle tube on the facing forward on the jeep, this way if they do hit anything the ramps will be used.

    shock mounts look cool but they will hold water and dirt and the shock bushings will be working overtime.

    mount one in front of the axle tube and one in the rear and it will damp wheel hop.

    i made "antiwrap" spring perches for the rear of the cj this morning, they are made from 2.5x2.5x1/4" box. They are 8" long to hopefully fight axle wrap in the rear, these along with 7 leaf cj rear military wrap springs and i hopefuly won't have to run an antiwrap bar.
