| Looking for a set of XJ springs for the rear of my CJ project. The front will be Waggy springs which lifts about 2" in stock form. Can be stock XJ springs and I'll have to add a main leaf to lift some and likely longer rear shackles.

| Would Joe's old springs work for you? They are to big for my TJ and it's throwing off my angle pitch!. I need 4" TJ springs for mine or at miminum a 3.5

| What I need are the XJ leaf springs not the ZJ coils. I think I have that right.

| OOOoooooohhhh! Sorry, but if you know anyone willing to trade coils, let me know. Have you heard from Randy? I don't see or hear from him much anymore. Concern over his health.

| | Instead of the cherokee springs and shackles, consider S-10 rear leaves. If you reverse the pin to spring-under, they will provide about a 3 inch lift for for Cherokees or in this case, your CJ. They have the same spring-eye dimensions too. |

| I will have to see how the front looks with the waggy springs on there. they are 7 leaf for the front with offset pin to move the axle forward a little. with the 454 to hold I'm afraid the waggy springs in the front may sink down flat instead of providing the 2" of lift that they normally would. The current rear springs are 4" lift springs and are spring over which is waaayyy too high. If I flip it to spring under wiht 4" springs it may match up with the front but the ride may be harsh since it is so light in the back end with the fiberglass tub.

| Sure, same deal I got for them. He would have to take them off; I can't even lift more than 15 lbs. That prevents me from getting any work done on my Jeep. Sucks...it's like being dry docked as a sailor. I have never imagine being away from the trails this long, believe me when I say, I miss you knuckle heads. I’ve been working as much as you are trying to catch up on restoring our home budget. Let me know, if the person is interested. I could use the money toward the newer spring to replace them. I think a 4.0 spring would be enough even if I have to go with a 3.5 and the buster spacer 1.5.
