jtdesigns Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 My Rodeo bottoms out on every lil crap dip and bump... I'm tired of it and I can't find any listed for a 2wd Rodeo to save my life!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 No, they are not universal. That doesn't mean that an AAL for a specific application won't work in another vehicle, it just might be less than optimal. How wide are the Rodeo springs? You might be able to use scrap XJ or MJ (or Dakota or S-10) leaves. Are the Rodeo prings SOA or SUA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 JT, why not follow the the common practice of adding another Rodeo main leaf under your current one? It would have the proper arch and spring rate, and you could probably find one in a JY w/out too much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever run across a decent rodeo in the yard I'm just going to yank the whole shabang man... Problem is the few yards that have these things want way more then Ill ever give for it..

Hi, JT, If you can tell me the width, length, thickness and free arch of what you want, I may be able to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I would have to have the springs off right?? I wouldnt mind it being a lil taller then stock, maybe like a inch or 1.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind it being a lil taller then stock, maybe like a inch or 1.5" The arch is one of those important things - that and the thickness of the steel will largely determine the lift of the add-a-leaf.

jtdesigns Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 How does one calculate the arch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 You don't calculate it -- you measure it. Ideally, with the spring off the vehicle, but since that's not practical, jack the chassis up to unload the springs ... but not so far that you're picking up the wheels and axles. Stretch a string between the forward and rear bushings, and measure from the string to the top of the main leaf where it's bolted to the axle.
