searching for spring rates is a pain. Is there a graph of spring rates for:
YJ fronts
YJ rears
CJ7 rears
Wagoneer fronts.
lifted variations of the above

All those and more are in a chart in a book called the Jeep Performance Handbook by Jim Allen.
He even breaks it out by models that had different springs to accommodate heavier/lighter engines and/or hardtops.
I have the book but it's at home right now so...

Try to find the last issue or two of Petersen's 4wd & Offroad. It's got a cool section in there to calc out leaf and coil spring rate by simply inserting known spring specs into some formulas. That way you can calc out any leaf/coil spring you'd like....
