do the cj springs move the axle back any in the rear? how much? is the a certain ply i should get? what kind?(I-6 or V8 springs?)
will they give it more lift or are they the same as stock rear samis?
thanks guys.

They move the axle 2" back, Use front CJ7 leafs from a V8 ( 6 pack). Are you doing this in conjunction with 3/4 eliptic?

We have spring hangers which bolt onto your existing spring hangers which allow the use of a CJ spring - which keeps the axle in its proper location. It also requires the use of a longer shackle or Missing Link in the rear. The added lift using a CJ spring is approx. 2 inches. We prefer the 5 leaf pack with a thicker main leaf for axle wrap control.

Your other option is Front wrangler 4 or 5 pack relocate the hanger and use 5" shackle or drop link shakle track bar recomended ( alot of flex this way ) take a look here (http://www.geocities.com/rockrat87) :D :D

ok, i'm not into buying things....... so how do i make something to keep the axle in he same place? and no john, i'll be using missing links, a goffy leaf/buggy spring wouldn't be too easy on an 88 with the springs outside the frame unlike your 85........
one thing about the rear springs in the front, they're already installed and all done but left my stock shocks on cause i don't have any d-shaft spacers, so how thick is the spacer i need?
