-SHANE- Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 would the leafs off a 91 2wd fit my 88 4x4 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yup, but it might drop it down about an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 it's really not that bad. I'm running 2wd leafs on my 88. 4wd leafs in good shape can net closer to 6" of lift depending. you can make up any loss of lift by cutting the eyes off your current main leafs and inserting them right under the new mains. (also helps combat spring wrap) If the 2wd leafs are in good shape, I'd go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SHANE- Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 a set of cut out leafs from any s10 or the 2wd 91 Comanche @ the wreckers are 150 bucks . all cuz of 1 broken leaf.... :fs1: did you ad the f150 springs in the front .....? how did you level out the front of your truck pete m ?

Pete M Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 pay no attention to the front of my truck :D (unless you wanna try to adapt the ford radius arm suspension) everything up there is custom. f-150 coils are too stiff. mine are aftermarket MJ/XJ coils. 150 bucks is stealing. did you try car-part.com ?

Pete M Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 car DASH part.com those aren't replacements for your broken leaf. In fact, you're likely to break other leafs if you install those in place of the #3 leaf in your pack. they won't properly support the #2 leaf.

MjPioneer Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have 2wd springs on mine, they are a bit lower then I would have liked but they give a great quality ride in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 And ...? Shane, I'm 66 years old, I have an astigmatism, and I DON'T have a monitor the size of a garage door. On my screen your arrow points to a dark blotch. How's about using words? Like "Yes," or "no" or "the one directly under the main leaf"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 the arrow points to leaf #3 (the bottom thin one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 the arrow points to leaf #3 (the bottom thin one). How close to the arch of MJ springs would the arch of YJ Wrangler springs be? I would think it should be easy to find a Wrangler in a junkyard, and there must be something in a Wrangler leaf pack that's at least as long as the #3 in an MJ pack.

Pete M Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 can't say for sure, but wrangler leafs are fairly flat. maybe not as flat as an XJ, but certain have less arch than an MJ. As I found out with my experimenting, that third leaf is crucial for holding up an MJ. pulling it makes the leafpack flatten out quite a bit. :( I still say the original poster just needs to find a better junkyard. that one is a ripoff. http://www.jmw4x4.com/inventory/retail.htm seems to have a few sets.

-SHANE- Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 thanks guys but its still 150 bucks for a set of used springs.
