Leaf springs swap
« on: May 27, 2011, 04:33:20 PM »
Bought my samy with little dinky leaf springs that are spread out now and look like there about to fall apart. Im looking for a replacement the truck is lifted. It also has 1982 SR5 rear axles on it.   Im looking into these Is it a problem with the axles?

Have you considered either a YJ or Toyota mini truck rear conversion? You will have stronger longer and more flexible springs and they can be had at any wreckers for cheap.

I've installed these springs on a Samurai SPUA.  They have quite a bit of arch, but seem to ride decent for what they are.

I have run the 5-leaf YJs SPOA but took them off due to all the axle wrap.  Not familiar with Toyota spring swaps.

35 years of Samurai ownership, and I still have my very first one. :)
