Silly question... What modifications do i need to do to give my cj7 a wider wheel base and get the tires to sit out from the body a little? Simply longer axles? Thanks!

have other sizes too.Also, as a word of caution, keep in mind that when you change yourbackspacing like this you affect turning radius, bearing life, and yoursteering effort.

One of the good things I like about CJ's is they are narrow enough to run on most overgrown trails.
You can use rims with more back space, but be aware they can be illegal in a 'lot' of places because they can move the tire out past the fender flares. This causes debris and water to splash and can/will give you some nasty dings on the arm from flying rocks if you drive with your arm/elbow out the window.
You can get extended fender flares for this.
Also the wider and bigger you go, the faster things like wheel bearings and ball joints wear out.
