Hey, just curious, the 428CJ wasn't launched until '68?

No, I got the dream beams for the front, and for the rear I fliped the front spring hanger, and shimmed the axel to level it. You'll also need lowering shocks. The rear was the best way because I have the full suspension. If you need more help give me a PM. :wink:
