Thanks Larry,

I believe that I will go with the standard. I'm sure that it would be difficult to tell any change in the smooth ride if I went up to HD!

I pulled the springs off the fron this weekend. They only had 2 leaves on each end. I thought something was wrong.

Fronts:
8 leaf standard, 10 leaf heavy duty

Just a thought here - I wonder why Walks and Kaiser offer a differ on the leaf spring count for the front and rear. Also Kaiser sells both 9 and 10 leaf for the rear. That brings up a question. What is the correct leaf count for a CJ3A front and rear?

Thanks, George

It's very common for these jeeps to lean slightly to the driver's side. It's normal.

I recently installed new springs on my 53 cj3a front and rear. the jeep now sits @ 1/2 inch higher on the passenger side than the drivers side looking from the back side. there is no body on the frame.
 I purchased the springs from kaiser willys part #A614 for the rear springs. I dont recall it leaning like this before but I really didnt pay to much attension.
 I guess I was just wondering if they had to settle in after some driving or if my frame is twisted.
