{"product_id":"motobilt-jeep-yj-wheelbase-stretch-kit","title":"Motobilt Wheelbase Stretch Kit for Jeep YJ | P\/N MB1500","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Motobilt Jeep Wrangler YJ Wheelbase Stretch Kit is a great way to move your rear axle back roughly 6 inches. The Motobilt Jeep Wrangler Wheelbase Stretch Kit is designed to use Jeep XJ rear leaf springs on the rear of your Jeep YJ (1987-1995). Installing this kit moves the rear axle back about 6 inches. The kit incorporates a custom rear bumper and shackle hangers in one part. The shackle hangers are positioned high on the bumper to keep the overall Jeep ride height lower for better center of gravity. The ends of the bumper are tapered in to allow better clearance for the shackles with the rear axle at full droop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit comes with a custom set of leaf spring shackles designed to clear the bumper in the range of movement. The rear bumper also features 3\/4 inch thick d-ring recovery mounts that pass through the bumper and welded on both sides. The bumper welds to the back of the factory cross member and has two side frame plates to cover the sides. This kit does include new spring shackles as noted. The shackles are CNC laser cut from 1\/4 inch high strength steel plate. The shackles measure 4 inches center to center and do have a 3rd cross bolt for additional support.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBushings \u003cstrong\u003eNOT\u003c\/strong\u003e included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep Wrangler YJ Wheelbase Stretch Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan also be used on 1997-2006 Jeep TJ when converting to leaf springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bumper is 3\/16 inch laser cut steel plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch thick d-ring mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporated shackle mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoves the axle back 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures 42.5 inch wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes new shackles and shackle spacer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 35lbs (approx.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBUSHINGS NOT INCLUDED.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you require bushings then purchase a \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/motobilt.com\/products\/poly-bushing-kit-one-pair\"\u003ebushing kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
