Ok my YJ's have about 22.5 from spring eye to center pin. I've heard that wagoneer springs have 22.5 and 24.5. This doesnt move my axle forward any. When I pull it apart I will redrill the perches for about 1/2 an inch but my question is: Has anyone found a spring in the 45" range that has an offset of something like 20.5 on one side. Any suggestions are welcome but I'm sticking to leaf springs. I figure I better be able to design a good leaf spring suspension before I move on.

I havent seen a configuration that your talkin bout but if your
in a S/R config turn the spring around to put the 22.5" from fixed eye on frame to center pin it wiil definatly move your spring forward.

The springs I'm running have no offset, thats the problem. I'v been looking at a Rancho spec sheet and I found a spring that will move the axle almost 2.5 inches forward. has anyone ever run a toyota rear in a sami?

I think the zuk seabass just bought has them all around, and it appears to flex like crazy. I could use more front bias too, let me know what you do and how it works out.

Bass: Do you know exactly what kind of toy springs (brand, lift etc) those are?

Stock rears from 79-88, add 1 more leaf 3rd I think. no lift, frame was custom made to work with these so I don't know what they will do on a stock zuk frame..

Thanks bass...my rig is et up to run yjs in the front so these would be an easy swap if I want to try them.
