why even start with a cj5 if its that far off from what you want?

I like my 5. I got it when i turned 16 and have learned to wrench/fab on it. I hope to never be in a position where i HAVE to get rid of it. I needed better gearing and the cheapest/ most effective way for me to get it was to run a doubler which meant I HAD to stretch the rear. As far as stretching the front is concerned the main point is to get rid of leafs and get the jeep lower.
