spring advise
« on: December 07, 2010, 02:36:47 PM »
I have access to get some OEM Springs off a 97 - 06 Wrangler for $15 and I was wondering if those would be just as good as the yj swap? and can I use the yj kit to add these to my 87 sami?

Won't work, 97-06 is a TJ, so they are coil springs instead of the leaf springs you find on a YJ.

 The YJ has a wider width, more supple spring rate, not near the arch that they CJ springs have, esp. the added 4" one the ones that you are looking at.

thank you for the info. so it would be better for me to hold off for the yjs when I can afford them then?

One option is to use the front springs from a CJ on the rear and move the rear springs up front.  Same width, just a bit longer and a softer ride over-all.
