So I took a few measurments today and figured out that I won't be able to use my front axle on the new frame. The frame is about 6 inches wider in the front and the rear than mine. Unless I buy some rims with enormous offset my axle won't work. I'm considering using the existing axles thats on there for now, moving my front clip or one that I found over or mabye even keeping the YJ clip and just buying some lights for it. I think I am going to run YJ springs and keep it spring over or possibly using my rear springs from the CJ and using them on the front. Using the old CJ fender flares, using diamond plate corners to keep it road legal. And running 33"s all of this untill I find an estate sale with 60's in the free pile <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />.

I know you guys say the front axle is the weak link but hey I gotta do what I gotta do. For now at least.
