lift,  leafsprings which ones?
« on: March 30, 2005, 09:14:08 PM »
Hi

I am looking into lifting my 1994 samurai by using leaf springs.

I was wondering what leaf srpings you guys use?

I am looking for a (2-3) rise what springs would you recommend?

Cheers roeman

I love my Old Man emu's They arent cheap, around 450 bones, but they ride soooo nice. Make sure you get the light duty ones though. The heavy duties ride worse(or so I've heard)

If you go spring over, you might want to consider a HD spring in the rear to help combat axle wrap (or put a traction aid device in).

I have been told NOT to use OME springs on a springover as they will eventully break. they are designed for spring under only.
