Could use some help with suspension

What size shocks would fit on a 77 cj5 at stock height the ones on my jeep currently seem like they are too long to absorb anything since in the rear it looks like there is only 2 inches of travel before they are fully collapsed.

Transmission help

I have a 79 CJ 5 with the t18 four speed behind the 258. The engine is tired and smoking. I have a rebuilt 255 V6 and I'm wondering if they will match or will I need to get an adapter?

Newbie Buyer Questions

Hello!

I’m in the market for a 1970’s CJ5. No plans to use it as a daily driver, just a fun vehicle to take the kids for a spin and hit the occasional trail. I found one I plan on going to look at next week. It’s a 1975 with the 304 v8. It appears to be in good condition, but we all know looks can be deceiving with used cars. Are there any recommendations yall have for things someone new to this market should be on the lookout for? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

IL or Wisconsin Shop

Looking for a Jeep shop in Northern IL/Southern Wisconsin to rebuild my 1980 CJ5's drive train. T176, Dana 300, Dana 30 and AMC 20. Unfortunately, when I bought the Jeep to restore I had a bunch of room, I no longer have that luxury and the wife wants her garage spot this winter so I need to shop out a couple things to hopefully get them done quickly, installed and a rolling chassis completed before our first snow.

Hoping someone can help. All I can find are basically shops that cater to newer Jeeps and all they can do is install generic lifts, wheels/tires, fender flares, and some minor maintenance it seems.

Thanks!

are cj5s with no tailgate... rare?

was chatting with my coworker, and i bring up the fact my '83 cj5 laredo has no tailgate, just a spare tire on the back. i mentioned how i needed to find a replacement tub since the one i have is pretty rotten, but mention how i cant find a tub with no tailgate, just a flat back, online, save for fiberglass. upon asking him if jeeps with no tailgate are rare, he tells me they're quite rare. upon looking online, i've seen a few of them, and someone saying they came with the laredo trim package?? i'm really confused, are these as rare as my friend makes them out to be?

Wanted: CJ-7

I’m in the market for another jeep. Any of you in Utah and have an insight as to where to look? Do any of you know any old school jeep shops I can get in contact with in northern Utah? I’m not on FB and can’t seem to find any jeeps for sale in online listings that aren’t ridiculously over priced and on the other side of the country. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bogging down issue

Hello, I have a 1980 cj7 with a 151 GM and a verajet carb. It boggs down in the mid/high rpm range (main issue) I've never touched the idle screw, and can't seem to find any info on other adjustment screws. Also strong gas smell when you turn off.

(Side issue) when it's hot (90+) and you drive it, after stopping for 20-30 minutes, and starting it again, it will stall at red lights for about 10 minutes. I assume this is a choke issue

A chilly ride to work this morning

It was a chilly 51°F ride to work this morning, I'm not ready to put the hardtop back on yet though.
