Ordered replacement studs from Summit. Drilling out old stud and trying these bolt on replacements. Thanks everyone. I am amazed I could find brackets fro every other Jeep but not 82-84 CJ. Thanks everyone. Ill let you know how it turns out.

While installing the new lift kit turns out the post on the rear upper shock mount stripped. Anybody have a direction on where to look for a replacement? Cannot find it. It is a weld on. Thanks in advance!

Ended up taking the radiator to a radiator shop a few blocks away. $150 and it was boiled out, crack repaired, and painted. Finally reinstalled and seems to be working great.

Everyone thanks so much. Researching parts always takes me down a rabbit hole and get lost. My radiator shop says the repair is no problem so Ill try it out and see how it goes before dropping bigger money. Thanks. Forgot to check out Summit.

So my upper inlet is cracked where it meets the core. In anticipation of it not being repaired or the repair not lasting a new radiator might be needed. Found two old threads on the subject but the links are no longer valid. Need a recommendation on where to look. Found a few on amazon but...

Last question. Ha. I guess I need new shocks since I’m stepping down in lift from 4 to 2.5? Yes? Any recommendations would be appreciated on brand.

Alcans on order!!! 4-6 weeks. I explained to my wife its more cost effective to keep putting money into the Scrambler than buying a new vehicle. I think she bought it? But she asked why all these Jeep parts are keep pooping up in her feeds. She knew about the new top, the new wheels, the new...

I will. Thanks to all!

These are just leaf springs that Lew said would give a great ride. I am ordering tomorrow. 6-8 week lead time so Ill get back to everyone asap.

Thanks for the heads up on the wheel width. Did the research from your suggestion and you are correct. Going with 8 inch wide.

If anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore I want to say thank you. Very informative. I stuck a set of 4” rough country on my 84 when I first acquired it and that was a mistake. Tooth shattering ride. That was 10 years ago. I am getting ready to order a set of Alcan 2.5” and got...

I have a freshly rebuilt T4 rolling 33’s. It still shifts like a T4. If you can find someone who knows how to rebuild it, that is your first issue. Second, T4-5 were never built to roll those big tires and especially if you’re geared lower than maybe 373.

Just got off the highway. I think I ran up to 65 maybe 70 mph and everything seemed OK. Not great but there might be a slight caster issue. But that could also be road smoothness or tires need to be balanced and I probably need an alignment after replacing the front leafs and stabilizer...

Finally put my front leaf springs in after 18 months. New boomerang shackles. Braided stainless brake lines and shocks. That was really the last 3 days. Oh and bled my brother-in-laws brakes on his 72 Bronco. Wife is ready to leave me. Woohoo ! Sent from my iPad

Shackles are on. Took it around the block and no problems yet. Max speed was about 40. Really improved the ride quality. Almost as good as my Silverado. Sent from my iPad
