    Leaf spring bushings

    I'm replacing the shackles and bushings on the YJ and wanted to pass along this info that I ran into. I have Skyjacker Soft ride springs which I identified after I bought the Jeep, glad they have a label on the spring eyes with a P/N. Most shackle kits that come with bushings are the stock...

    Mechanical speedo sender

    For the final wrap up of this topic I took it for a road test and the speedo works great. I installed a 35 tooth gear for the 33's I'm going to have and the speedo cable was 82" long. Next will be the matching Autometer tach, Thanks again to machoheadgames for the gear housing!

    To conclude this topic the Mopar part# 2538608 is a good number and you can find an OEM part and also Advance Adapters also makes the part #301506. The cable uses 5/8 and 7/8 fittings on each end. Hope this helps the next person find the info.

    I'm a new YJ owner, picked up a 95 that has had extensive swap work done, 350, new AX15, Novak T-case kit, etc. When the work was being done some of the wiring was removed and one of those things was the speedometer wiring and I'm going to put a mechanical speedo set-up which was in the YJ's...
