pug Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Is the long bed springs the same size as short bed springs (leaf springs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 yes. :thumbsup: But 2wd MJs sit about an inch lower than 4wds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Will the long bed springs sit any higher with extra weight of the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Not really. The age and sagginess of any used springs you find will matter more than if they came from a LB or SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I bet there's only about 100 pounds difference between the 2 bed lengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 So would you recomend changing both sides or just the side that is sagging. Passenger side side sags about 1 1/2 -2 inches than drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Sounds like a broken leaf in there. I'd recommend both. And try to get them from someplace rust-free if you can. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Go south and see. :thumbsup: I've yet to see a decent pair of leafs in a Michigan junkyard. I'm not saying they aren't there, only that I've never seen them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have. Even had a brand new custom flat bed with a wood floor, guy wanted only $200 for it. Worth that in just the wood that was on the floor had good stuff on there. But the springs were awesome, so awesome I bought them for $30 and but them On my MJ when did the 8.8 swap. Which I took of the stock springs from the MJ which I got in FL. They were that nice, prolly new with the bed and all but still got them out of a JY. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
