I need new springs for project cheap jeep because all the ones on it now look like the one pictured below. Anyone have a set of either stock or mild lift springs that will fit a 74 CJ5? Cheap is good. I have chevy parts coming out the ass to trade so if you need any we can make a deal.

On the xj rear leafs the spring pin is not centered. and I am not sure but I think they are wider. If they are the same width you could build some bastard springs using your stock mainleaf. Then you could redrill the pin hole wherever you need it.

you'll have to change spring hangers if you go to a 2.5" wide spring.

$225 and I'll rip all the junk off my cj

2 unused YJ spring hangers, 2 never been welded on 76 style spring hangers, 4 rear 76-86 cj springs, 4 2.5" wide shackle hangers, 2 spring perches, and ****ty yj shackles

JP did the yj hangers on a pre 76 -5
