One of the 4x4 magazines (sport util???) just put some longer than stock springs on a flatty and it worked out really well. I cannot remember what mag it was though, sorry.

Give it up man, sell it to me! I'll buy it off you and you can spend the cash on your Toyotas!

My uncle has a CJ3B running Mini Truck axles and a Isuzu Turbo Diesel engine, trans and transfer. Also has a polished stainless steel tub. Very cool truck. Gets like 30 MPG around town and where he lives there are no freeways or any place you can go more than 40 MPH. He loves that thing.

john.stumbaugh@itt.com if your interested in selling, I'd love to have a 3B
