DansGreyMj Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 to the rear of my leafs there is about a 3/16" gap between the topleaf and the one below it, and how many leafs are in a pck cuz mine has 4 not including the 3" short AAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Measure from the center of the hubcap straight up to the bottom edge of the flare. The dimension should be about 20-1/2". If you're within a half inch of that either way, your springs are okay. [EDIT]Where's that dunce smiley again? I just realized this is a lifted truck, so the 20-1/2" dimension doesn't apply. You wrote AAL but I was thinking of the factory overload leaf. Yeah a gap like that is pretty common when you use a short AAL to bend the spring into an unnatural shape. I would strongly advise you to find some way to get rid of the short AAL, it isn't helping your springs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DansGreyMj Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 would a long aal have the same effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 You're right, we don't have a dunce smiley. If anyone sees it out in cyberspace, lemme know where so I can assimilate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm looking for one in particular. Hard to explain but I'll know it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Back to the original problem (thereby neatly sidestepping the myriad reminders of my brain pharte) -- a full-length AAL is much less injurious to the springs than the shorties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 My springs seem fine and they have that gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I've got a long AAL in the rear of my MJ, I don't have the gap, and the sprigs seem none the worse. It doesn't flex for crap though. I think I'm going spring over in the rear next summer and going back to stock spring packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
