I have a '91 YJ tub that I will be swapping onto my '80 CJ-7 frame.  The old CJ body is rusted and trail-beaten.  It's so bent, I can't put the windshield or doors on it anymore.  I know the frame widths are a bit different, and I will modify/make the body mounts to make it fit.  My question is which body mount bushing kit would work best?  CJ or YJ?  What's the difference between the two? 


Thanks.

Seems that you'd be best off using the kit to match the frame,  but I would contact the manufacturer and get specific dimensions and do a little measuring on the jeep before I ordered anything.

Hi I just finished putting a 1987 YJ body on a 1986 CJ frame I went with the bushing's for the 86 Cj as the one's for the YJ are Quite abit Different You will have to move the mount's in front of the rear wheels forward about 4" and you will have to move the front rad support mount up 1.5" and forward 2" if you are going to use the YJ front end.I was trying to figure out how to attach a picture of mine so you could see how it look's with the YJ front end once i figure out how to do this i will put it in.
