Im Trying To Figure Out What I Want To Do The Whole Story Is In My Other Post. Im Interested In Anything Other Than Stock. Thanks Alot You Guys Are A Great Help.

 

I used Rancho 2.5" springs. I really like them. At first they were a little stiff, but after less than a year of use they seem to flex pretty well.

 

I used Black Diamond on my '71 CJ5 and am thrilled to death with it.
Believe me.....I'm a HUGE flatty fan. I visit this forum just to drool on you guys' rigs.

 

Thank You Guys For The Pics And Responses.

 

I have a set of superlift 2.5" for an M38 in the shed if you are interested. I thought they were very good springs, they flexed well and the ride was nice. I'm no longer using them cause I went SOA with YJ springs. Let me know if you want them and we can deal.

 

I've got a complete 3" Black Diamond setup new in boxes. It took 5 months to get it. I'm advertising my Jeep for sale to pay some bills. If it sells, I'll make you a good deal on the suspension if my Jeep buyer doesn't want it.

 

Yes Im Super Interested In The Lift. My Only Question Is Will It Fit A 3b. Ive Got One Set On It That Is Rigged To Fit And This Is What Im Trying To Get Away From. Oh And Roughly What Kind Of Price ? Thanks Oh And Sry About All Caps Im On A Work Comp And The Caps Lock Is Stuck On.

 

Where are you located? First thing we need to help you with is getting you a new keyboard. They are free around here.

 

any springs from another flatfender will fit.

 

just had my boss go get me another sorry for the irritation. so any flattie springs will work? i called super lift and they said they didnt list a lift for an m38. they only had a listing for an m38a1. i just want to make sure i get a lift with the correct spring length this time so i can move my spring mounts back to thr stock locations and ditch this cj5 lift. it dosent flex good with the 5 lift either.thanks for all the help guys.

 

are 3a and 3b springs the same? mine is a 3b.

 

They are the same.

 

I got everybodies PM about the springs. If I remember correctly, the rears are 42" eye to eye and the fronts are 36". I will measure them tonight so you know, but the kit was for an M38/CJ3A and they should fit any flat fender. I will weigh them too to get an idea on shipping.

 

M38 = Military CJ3A

M38A1 = Military CJ5

For general referrence, here are the part #s for the Black Diamond 3" kit I bought.
The Superlift kit is quite a bit cheaper but I went with the BD anyway. Most folks seem to think it's worth the extra $$.
