    Hey guys, I've been searching and haven't found the correct diameter for the bell crank shaft on my 68 cj5. I'm thinking I'll need the 1 1/8th inch rebuild kit listed on this page: http://walcks4wd.com/steering-group/bell-cranks-bell-crank-kits.html I'm also going to pick up a new crank and drank link to try and tighten up my sloppy steering. Anyone know for sure that the 1 1/8th kit is the one I'm after?

    Also, I had to edit this post because I forgot to ask, does anyone have a source for stock length front and rear spring shackles?

    Thanks in advance.

    My 68 cj5 takes the 1 1/8. Did you check the sticky on the shackles? I'am not this far yet so I'am no help there.
