YJ spring measurement
« on: November 14, 2009, 02:53:52 AM »
Looking for measurement of a stock set of YJ springs....
I have a set that look pretty worn.
Can someone flip a set and measure from the surface/ground/workbench to the top of the center of the spring pack for me ?
Mine are at about 7.25" but wondering if I should try to use these or find another set before I do the swap.

Would like to get about 2" - 2.5" of lift out of the YJ swap.

Thanks !!

I have two sets of YJ springs here now. They are both measured at 7.25", so I am guessing they are good.
I have the rear installed and been running them for a few days. I will start to swap out the fronts on Sunday.
I might be about 1/2" more lift than I had with the BonZ-Eye 2" lift springs. The YJ 5 pack springs I am putting on have about 100,000 miles on them (what I was told), so hopefully they are all broke in and will ride nice.

Thanks for offering to help out.

If your going to go wheeling with the YJ springs I recommend installing a traction bar.  It doesn't take a whole lot to twist those softer springs up.
