leaf springs

[pug]

Is the long bed springs the same size as short bed springs (leaf springs)

[Pete M]

yes. :thumbsup:

 

But 2wd MJs sit about an inch lower than 4wds.

Will the long bed springs sit any higher with extra weight of the bed.

[Pete M]

Not really. The age and sagginess of any used springs you find will matter more than if they came from a LB or SB.

[Pete M]

I bet there's only about 100 pounds difference between the 2 bed lengths

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.

Sounds like a broken leaf in there.

 

I'd recommend both. And try to get them from someplace rust-free if you can. :thumbsup:

So is MIchigan out?

What the hell is "rust free"?

[Pete M]

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

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:
