I recently ordered cage padding from Jegs and have some lengths leftover if you need any Karl.
I was surprised when I saw the real stuff, it was much more dense than I thought. I guess John it talking about if your head hits the cage violently the closed cell stuff will save your noggin. At first I was thinking if the cage crushed in, in which case you are fooked either way. I still think that pipe insulation will help a tiny bit.

i need some shocks.
when searching through monroe's catalog. cheapest ones i found that will work are $45. any other suggestions.
3/8 stud on each end, and ~25" extended.
that seems a little high. I bought my cage shocks for 120 for all 4 shipped. I would guess you could find a similar deal. Wasnt there a company making cheap shocks for applications just like this?

i can find cheap shock for about $20. but they all have eyelets. appearently studs on each end got phased out in '79. might end up just running the stock ones, flex is overrated anyways.
shocks are overrated

i have some spare bushing style mounts that you can weld on the axle and maybe some for the frame if you wana stop by
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
1. Do we/anyone have any part store hookups anymore?
2. Is it worth it to spend the extra 20 bucks a piece on ball joints to upgrade from the house brand at O'reillys?
3. Edit, what about the (extra 70 dollar a piece) adjustable ball joints?
Thanks
