I have a '58 CJ5. I don't know if my shackles are non-greasable. I looked at them and there are not a zerk fittings on them. Does it make a difference? Is the eye bolt a different diameter? The only thing that does not get replaced is the leaf spring to to frame pivot eye bracket.

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
The shackle with the reverse threads goes in the front drivers side and the rear passenger side of the WIllys.

What is the cost difference to upgrade to greaseable HD shackles and greaseable pivot bolts with the rest of this kit? Thanks

The CJ-5 didn't use greaseable style. I don't think it is really possible unless you are willing to drill out your hangers.

The CJ-6 used the same suspension as the CJ-5. The leaf springs and all the hardware is the same.

i am restoring a 1960 cj5 the existing shackles are not open ended like the ones pictured and one of my U bolts is wider than the rest due to the front axle being wider on drivers side. will this kit work for my jeep?

Willys Tech:
The CJ-5 used closed end shackles and that is what is provided in the kits. This will be correct for all the years 1955-65.

I am looking for the rubber bushings that go between the body and the frame, but cannot find them in the online parts catalogue. Where should I look. Thanks.

Willys Tech:
We sell indivial pads or do have complete body mounting kits available.

We're can I download or view the complete installation schematic

:
I just installed one of these kits on my 1956 Jeep Willy CJ5. The parts are of good quality, easy to install (about 5 hrs for me and I'm no mechanic). Jeep drives like new and added bonus of a little lift due to brand new leafsprings. One note...this kit did not come with the four cotter pins needed and original holes for bolts were 1/2" and new kit (looks like an upgrade) but requires a 5/8" hole so some minor drilling needed. Great kit.

Willys Tech:
I would check out our 'shop by diagram' section on the left hand side of our site. You can view complete schematics there. We also sell mechanics manuals.

Willys Tech:
Yes it will work perfectly for you.

Will this kit work for a 68 cj5?

Willys Tech:
Yes it will work perfect.

Is there a benifit between the 9 and 10 leaf and the 5 and 7 leaf. Does it raise up the vehicle or stiffer ride?

Willys Tech:
It really just depends if you want to do towing. They give the same height.

How much is shipping for this complete suspension overhaul kit for the 59-65 CJ 5

This kit comes with the 9 and 10 leaf springs. Mine only has the 5 & 7. What is the benefit of the larger spring packs? Is this kit offered with the smaller packs also?
