Dan, I don't find the 10's harsh, but really don't have much to compare them to. I'm running new 10's with new shocks vs. the original (ie. 40...
Dan, Maybe this thread will help - http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?107640-Leaf-spring-advice. I ended up going with the 10 leaf...
I thought mine was siezed up (I could get the wipers to work occasionally, but not the washer). I then discovered that the knob had slid all the...
Hope I'm not alone in want to see pictures of that!
Thanks. I'll check my FLAPS for one. Thanks. Looks like mine is stock for the earlier 67-71 CJ with 10" drums. The PO installed it and I have no...
What about the filter that goes inside it just before it connects to the snorkel? I haven't been able to find one. Btw, great looking engine...
So, are you saying your bark is worse than your bite (really dig your avatar)? Chuck, any thoughts?
Amen. I'm definitely leaning toward the 10 leaf from the local supplier, especially if there's a decent warranty attached. It's cheaper than the 7...
Thanks, 1960 CJ5. Unfortunately, I have no idea if the crappy, used springs I put on are OE or made in China. If re-springing them runs $100, I...
Thanks, Rondog. Any thoughts on 7 vs. 10 leaf? I've read somewhere where the 10 leaf rides a little stiffer than the 7, but I'm not sure what real...
Looking for advice. I need to replace my front leaf springs (for more history -...
Looks great. Did you have to make any adjustments to your steering (tie rods, pitman arm) or drive shaft angles with the 2.5" lift? I wonder if...
Thanks. I do enough uphill driving as it is, so I don't need to add to it by only lifting the front. Appreciate the help.
Thanks for the explanation. This will help me decide which way to go with replacing my springs. One last question . . . if you lift the front, do...
Thanks, Tim. You're absolutely right. I guess I was referring to the dimensions of the HD shackle kit from Omix-Ada. Here's Omix-Ada's OE shackle...
Great prices. I paid 4wheelparts.com prices for my pair (at least I got free shipping for in-store pick up). But I thought they were OEM for stock...
Just curious about what kind of shackles are in the photos you posted earlier. They look like the greasable HD ones from Omix-Ada that I just put...
x2. Like Old Blue suggested, I used the hacksaw through the middle method on mine. Once you cut through it, use a screwdriver/chisel to fold up...
Thanks, I'll keep them in mind. I also found this supplier of OEM leaf springs for jeeps (all kinds) -...
Thanks. Here's a photo of my unloaded jeep on level ground. Is this servicable? [IMG]
