I've got a pair of 6-leaf front Wag springs with poly bushings in the large eyes. Interested?

I really didn't want any lift from them but thats a tempting deal for brand new springs. Let me do some figuring I'll get back to you on it. Thanks.

Just an FYI stay away from the lift springs unless your planning on running 42s or something. Mine are stock and i still took leaves out and they seem tall.

yea thats kinda what i figured. the plan was wag up front and ancient trow cherocar springs in the rear but due to the rear frame rust im considering links. depends on the funds I'm going to try and do everything else first and see where i end up money wise.

you running wag springs in the rear? have you always had it set up like that? curious as to wrap and wheel hop with leafs removed from a stock pack. traction bar is another reason im considering some sort of el cheapo links.

Do it, you will be so much happier with the performance. Cherokees get away w/o traction bars, wranglers dont. (in most cases)

Mine is waggy rear SOA with a traction bar. I think i'm running something like 4 leafs right now and after this weekend i'll know how well it works. I say link it, or you could run those lift springs SUA and still get the stretch and not need the traction bar.

No lol

I highly doubt ill be able to afford to link even just the rear. So either way I still need a set of wag springs for the front. Not interested in any lift to them. Stock sets are fine.

This is in the wrong thread I know but dude I'm going from sua cj5 on crap tires with stock sized shocks to decent wheelbase on nice tires and one tons. I think I can be happy with leaf springs. plus I want to put money into fuel injection and some odds and ends first.

I know, I don't mean to push it like that, it will definitely be a huge improvement. especially is you run a bit of a rear stretch, I'm sure you will be very happy with the setup. I'm just a little biased because I was very disappointed with how my rear suspension performed compared to how I though it should, even compared to a cherokee

All good brotha. Hey I got these really sweet oakleys in my truck and I heard you were looking for a new pair.....

I think I might be redoing my rear suspension. If you want I'd sell you the rear traction bar I got from will, the 7 leaf stock waggy front springs and all the ubolts and brackets.
