    Do you see any reason why this hose routing wouldn't work on 1955 CJ5 with a 225? I can't test fit the fenders at the moment and it's been about two years since I have had them on so my memory is a little fuzzy. From what I can tell from my old disassembly pictures it should work. The only issue I could think of would be fender well headers. Thoughts?

    i dont see anything wrong with it. not sure but are those reverse shackles you have there, i also notice that the shackle goes through the frame instead of having a hanger, i have a M38a1 with the same setup.

    might consider armor sleeving for the brake line before final install?

    Armor sleeve is a good idea. Thanks. Yep it is a factory reverse shackle. I think that since it was one of the first CJ5's, they used a left over M38A1 frame.

    I'd put a tire/wheel on there then turn the wheels and make sure the hoses aren't going to rub. Other than that it looks good to me.

    Thanks all. I put some wheels and tires on. It turns lock to lock without getting close to the hoses. I think that I'm going to call it good.
