Can you take some pics of the front suspension on the CJ8 I am interested to see how you did it. Cheers
don't worry my missus wasn't too happy about it either, I just didn't make the mistake of telling her about it BEFORE i bought it

i'll get some pics as soon as it's back from the auto elecs....it was a pretty simple mod though, bolt the front plates on and then set the rear shackles to 60 deegrees and drill a hole through the chassis, then weld in the sleeve and your done.

Did it make it sit any higher, and change the angle on the front pinion?

i don't believe it sits any higher or changes the angle of the pinion, that's why i went with this reversal, because it goes through the chassis rails, the ones the mount under the rails do lift the jeep some...

There was a postal Jeep at the farm I picked my Willys PU from. He said he tried to get it registered and was told he couldn't for some reason? Dont know why not? Is this one registered or is it just a Vicroads thing here?
