Building a New Frame - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I searched and saw tons of posts on people building jeep frames, seems like they were always built with 2 straight rails but my 83 cj7 frame narrows at the front....

what are some of you other guys doing about this? any pics would help....

I would think if you dont factor in the bend in the front frame rails the motors mounts, spring mounts etc. would change significantly, it would also couse interference with the front fenders.

Thanks

hope this helps. We first built this to the Cj5 and when we got the monster box it was to big so we cut it and went 3" on both sides. we will see what happens when we get to the trail gook luck
