I put a scout 44's in my 81 CJ7. For the rear, I just moved the spring perches, so no big deal. For the front, I had to make new mounts for the leaf springs. This was just a quick and dirty way to do it with some big fat angle. I should have made extra's to bolt on, now that I think about it. I believe this was 4x4x5 angle that I used.

For the front of the springs, I guess I forgot to take pics. Basically, I used flat steel and drilled and tapped holes into it. I'll get some pics of that one as well, next time I'm in MN. So, if anybody is doing this swap, that was the perfect size angle to use.
