4\" CJ-7 Lift question

I've got an '83 CJ-7 with a TF999 trans/ d-300 t-case/ d-30/ amc 20. (all stock). I want to put a 4" spring lift on it and have already decided to have a CV type rear drive shaft made. My question is, do I have to do anything with the front drive shaft, or is it long enough for the application? Do I have to have a CV joint type shaft made for the front as well as the rear? Will the front shaft clear the t-case skid plate, or does the skid plate have to be modified as well? I really don't want any drivetrain vibration, so if vibration is inevitable with a 4" lift, I will just go with a 2" lift. Thanks for info in advance!

Re: 4\" CJ-7 Lift question

Thanks guys, I will plan on a rear CV shaft, I'll wait until its done to decide whether or not to lengthen the front shaft. I know about the brake lines and I will also be putting a drop pitman arm on to correct the steering. Bumpstops will have to be longer as well, I don't want the 33's hitting anything under full flex. Thanks for all the info. A person would go broke trying to buy all this information./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif
