I had a 75 CJ5 back in early 80's.....I had 31's on it with stock suspension. That little bugger went everywhere......I do miss it from time to time.

yea, i got my trailer and im headed up saturday morning to hopefulyl make the trade. Its got a 4" on it and 31" grocery getters. thinking ill just rock some 33" and call it good. they are tiny and look awesome with big tires, don't want to go too big though.

Yup that sounds good to me!!

got it on saturday. its definetly a project but it still makes me giddy to look at. guy i got it from said it had a 4 inch body lift, it doesn't have a body lift and barley has body mounts lol, shackles look stock but it still sitts ~3" higher them my xj with 3" and 31s so it must have a spring lift in it, front bumper is an air tank, and has brand new seats. runs decent and the body isn't too shabby, just need to patch up the frame over the winter and have fun in the spring. It is hard to get into though with the steering wheel and tiny door openings and height, im not that big and can do it, just harder than it should be.
