1962 CJ5 Tie Rods for a 5 inch lift

Hello all,

I've run into some trouble while lifting the front end of my jeep involving some serious toe with the tires. I was wondering if anybody could supply me with a link or name of a site or store where I could purchase a tie rod kit for a 5inch lift to compensate for the toe I currently have.

Thank you for all your help in advance!

P.S. I'm finding it very hard to attach the front axel to the leaf springs because the differential is right where the U Bolt goes, does anybody know how to find a way to fix this issue? Cheers!

 

You should have one larger u-bolt that goes on top of the housing casting.

Are you keeping the Ross steering, or have you converted to Saginaw?

Herm sells a kit www.hermtheoverdriveguy.com for a one-piece tie rod kit. Common upgrade. https://www.google.com/search?q=Jee...fficial&client=firefox-a&channel=np&source=hp

 

Pictures would be great to see what your working on. As Tim mentioned what steering do you have in this 1962? ..........

 

And to add to this if you still have the Ross system and truly have 5" of suspension lift you are most likely going to have terrible bump steer and possibly tie rod end binding issues under suspension movement.

Also, moved to tech as this is not a restoration question or issue.

 

along with which steering is on jeep , 5" of lift :? this isn't a SOA lift is it . a picture would help

 

You NEED a one piece tie rod conversion. Check out Tim's links...

 

If you are trying to do a spring over on a 62 with stock axles, STOP. There is no good street drivable way to achieve this.
