57" wms wms ford 9" i have lying in my garage
front axle low pinion d30 (w/ d44 outers so i can have high steer for now)
suspension will be soa on the best 4 leaves i got with ford shock towers frenched into the frame
and 33" tires (maybe 35's i am looking into 33x10.5's)

That looks like a lot of work Adam. As meticulous as you are I'm sure whatever comes out of these will be great. I just wish I had the time to do stuff like that.

a little up date on this i parted out the brown jeep and am trying to sell some parts of the frame that is lying around and i will start rebuilding the 62 on the 81 frame this winter and i am going to paint it the same color orange as the new ford raptors

for tires my cj7 is sitting on 33x12.5 stock. (not much room for flex but they're on there) im not sure how much smalller the cj5's are then the cj7's but im sure you could run 35's with the SOA. thats my plan atleast.
