YJ4LIFE 05-03-2002, 11:12 AM Is 450 lb./in too stiff of a spring to put on a small YJ with 33s or 35s? I'm not gonna run 38s or 40s or anything monsterous anytime soon. THANKS. I Lean 05-03-2002, 01:22 PM I think so, especially when you consider that the stock springs are closer to 150 lb/in. Norm 05-03-2002, 02:06 PM I think stock is 185 lb/in, my springs are 4" and run 225 lb/in, which seems a little stiff. 450 lb/in's would be brutal . YJ4LIFE 05-03-2002, 02:24 PM BDS just said their YJ lift springs are: "Tas The spring rate on a YJ spring is 325/sq. inch. Posie BDS Visit BDS on the internet at www.bds-suspension.com " just for comparison YJ4LIFE 05-04-2002, 04:57 PM more research on the waggy spring YJ lift. Rusty's 4" FSJ front springs have been reported to be 310 lbs./in if this is true. I think I'm gonna order some up.
