This seems to be the standard conversion plate, but I see people often weld extra plates to it or make something stronger/similar ( I would! )

CJ springs can be used, quite common in the US to go CJ fronts on the rear and RUF

Just need to make sure that they are the 2" wide CJ springs.

Just sent Chris an email - my buddy here has done CJ's front and back and they are VERY good!

Chris, another PLUS point with the CJ's the Government in Cyprus imported a large number of CJ 7's for Military use as well as for the forestry commision etc. If you break a CJ spring you can always find another if I break a YJ... well, I am buggered!! See you Wednesday Chris!!

Hey Guys! Just met Chris - he is a really nice guy - he also bought me a beer and yummy eats :doublethumbs: but depite the bribery, I have to say his SJ is VERY tidy and nicely prepared.

He fell in love with it within a week or two of ownership - so he must be a good guy!

Thank you Chris for a lovely evening - my turn next!
