Home build of lift springs
« on: May 01, 2011, 12:35:28 PM »
Read somwhere this guy built his own lift springs by combining some cj3a leafs with comparible leaf from other vehicles. �Has anyone done this? �Will you share your leaf combinations? �

By the way the frankenjeep is now finally home and in the garage getting a cursory clean-up and inspection. Rodents and wasps evicted!!!! �:) � �purrs like a kitten. will need brake work, charging system diagnose, �Beaucoup sheet metal work (there was indoor/outdoor carpet glued to the floor....all over...even under the fuel tanks). �Everything else seems tight.

Thanks for the help guys....and ladies

How about doubling up a couple of leaves from another CJ3 spring? You should probably start with the longest leaves perhaps. If you do that the spring leaves would match size and flex.
