    Hello all:

    I ordered new leaf springs for my 65. They are superlift 1" lift springs. I just unpacked the package and the invoice from the vendor lists the springs as
    46-63 Jeep springs. It took MONTHS to get the order from the vendor and the vendor's website does not even list what I ordered anymore. The website does list the springs I received as being for a cj2a, cj3a and cj3b.

    The tech section here lists 55-75 spring dimensions as
    1955-1975 CJ-5/6 front = 36″ x 1.75″
    1955-1975 CJ-5/6 rear = 42″ X 1.75″

    the tech section at the cj3bwebsite lists the spring dimensions for the cj3b as
    Springs: Front: 36 1/4 in. x 1 3/4 in., 10 leaves, Rate 260 lb./in.
    Rear: 42 in. x 1 3/4 in., 9 leaves, Rate 190 lb./in.

    Am I correct in stating they are the same size springs and that I can install them on my 65 cj5? :?
    I am calling the vendor tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone can answer this for me.

    Thanks
    Michael
