Yeah I agree Little bit lower does look better. I was given a steering column, I was always told it was out of a golf cart, I just recently found out it was out of a CJ5 so I was able to obtain a horn kit for it.
Lifesaver. I’ve been agonizing over being unable to line that metal nipple in the middle of the spring. Clearly I need to loosen up the other side and I’ll be able to manipulate the axle and get it to align. Thank you !!
Worked like a charm. Now I’m doing the front because apparently not only the back left shock / leaf perch was bent but the front right is as well. Hoping when I’m done the cj5 will be level. If not I may have a slightly bent frame. Around 3/4” Any thoughts on how difficult it’d be to straighten it if that’s the case? Been busting my ass on this thing and I want it to be perfect.
sooooooooo we really going to just ignore the fact that the passenger front bushing mount is completely loose and flopping around and only has one of the two bolts attaching it to the frame?
Much better. Yes, I talk to parts, too. And that is the cleanest farm jack I've ever seen.
It’s clean because I’ve only had it a month! 😀

That’s awesome! Yeah you’re right, the old Cj2 3 and early 5 columns look exactly like golf cart columns!

No problem! It took me a few minutes to figure that out 😀😂👍

Awesome video brotha! You crack me up!
Thanks man! I love the new Dodge on your channel!
It will be more beautiful with yj front grill and dash,believe me.😉
I do love the YJ dash, it’s my favorite after the Cj-2 and 3a dash
Could you please tell me the height from the ground to the bottom of your front bumper bar? Thanks!
@@makingcookingfixing unfortunately I can’t, sold that Jeep awhile back
@@Foxcanfixit Well done! :-)
Kinda hoping to see you change shoes, put a sweater on, and sing a song before you started the show.
I can do that 😀
New springs look good. Does it have the stock or dropped steering linkage?
It still has the dropped, I have a stock pitman arm on order
Wow a high lift jack for this job you must have an Angle on your shoulder.
I have gotten hit in the head by the jack handle once or twice if that counts
That front bracket shouldn't be loose like that?
I tightened it afterword, bolt threads were worn out, replaced the bolt and also welded the bracket to the frame

Fixed that too, but not included in the final video.
Unsolicited advice, never work under a farm jack, use 6 degree wedges for better caster, take your tires off
All good tips
