    I just ordered some Omix rears only because Kaiser was running a 25% off sale. They dont look bad. They do not have the full military wrap which is dissapointing. I'll let yall know how it turns out.

    Just for future reference I have just replaced the springs on my 67 cj5 with v6 and hardtop. I got crown springs J0916047 9 leaf rear and j0999529 7 leaf front. old fronts were 10 leaf and sagged terrible rears were 9 leaf. Heights measured from top of spring to bottom of frame at the bumpstop. Before I had 6.25 front and 7.5 rear. now its 7.5 front and 8.75 rear. I also did a shackle reversal in the front at the same time which significantly changed the pinion angle and I had to adjust the alignment. But the added height is not excessive it looks fine and gave me a ton more clearance for everything in front. Iv only driven it a few miles but it seems to ride much the same. Its going to take some getting usto looking at the shackle reversal in front definately looks strange seeing that. I also disassembled the springs and greased them up between the leafs to prevent rust for a while. Very happy with them thus far.
