anyone here use xj leafs 180'd to extend the wheelbase in a cj or yj(spring over)?? my friend has an 80 cj7 and wants more wb, just lookin for ideas. if so, how do they flex? thanks for the info.....brad

btw, this would be in the rear......b

I gots them front and rear in my CJ-7

shackle reverasal in the front moved the axle forwarda few inches.

Flipped the rear shackle hangers around so the eye was as far back as it would go moved the spring hanger as needed. redrilled the spring centerpin holes and walla 99" wheelbbase

couldnt you just flip the spring front to rear and get a longer wheelbase(with new hangers) due to the pin offset with out drilling?? trying not to drill, i've heard of main leaves snapping at the unused hole. have you had any problems with this?? how do they flex?? TIA--brad

Snapping where the unused hole is? Doubt that would happen.

I'm not running them yet My jeep is still in the buildup stages.

As far as the flex goes they work real well.
I moved recently and had to push jeep up on a trailer.
we kinda missed the trailer and rode one tire right up the side rail of the trailer. We were pushing on the jeep and did not realize we had ramped it up the side of the trailer.
