    the flatfender springs, front and rear, are shorter in length.
    I'd measure yours, eye to eye, and ask him the same about his.
    seems to be confused for some reason
    I can't read his meaurements in his pic.

    I guess I don't see the reason to replace your used springs and shackles with other USED springs!! Why not go with new springs??

    Indeed - buy new unless you are really short of cash.

    I certainly would not buy them without accurate measurements. The seller says they came off a M38 and will fit a CJ-5 ... that's a contradiction unless the M38 was modified to use CJ-5 springs.

    Because they're going on a POS. Can't justify spending the value of the vehicle on replacement springs and shackles.

    My back shackles are toast. I suspect that once the springs come off they will need replacement too -- god knows what's holding them together right now R)
