Most of the Wago hype has been related to the 44044 springs. I think this spring will give me way to much lift than I need with my severely hacked body.

Does anyone just run stock Wago springs. If so where did ya get them and got any pics??

junkyards man... think of the huge number of broken down wagoneers in your local junkyards

i hear it's a pretty common swap on YJs; bolt-on perhaps? spring widths are the same i think 2"

i know the perch width is almost exactly the same. some poor fella broke his rear 44 and had to run a YJ 35c for a while. that was interesting with a 360...

JC Whitney part # 07AU2048P = 7 Leaf front Wagoneer springs $99 each. I was on the phone with them today. Most info I have been able to dig up estimates that they will give you 3" of lift compaired to stock YJ springs. They are ~47" eye to eye and the center pin is offset ~2".
(I posted a part # that was out of date earlier today on this board - I'm about to update it).

The 44044 made by rancho will give you 3-4" of lift but a stock waggy spring might give you an inch. The 44044 is a 2.5" waggy lift spring. The JC Whitney springs are only stock replacement springs so you might get a inch out of them. Why waste the $$$$$$ got to the pick and pull and get some for cheap, and maybe even get extras. the 7 leaf versions are the most desireable but I've heard guys mention on this board that they run the 6 leaf packs and they preform quite well.....Do a search on this. The rockslut has mentioned this and talked about every part of it in detail like probally a hundred times in the past 2 months......

Tommy:

You run The JC Whitney 7 Leaf's and 39's? I assume that picture is of your Jeep, looks good. Anymore pictures of the flex or anymore pictures at all even street shots, would like to see the lift it gave you.

Thanks!

Hey Aaron,

The pictures are spring under, not over. So he runs stock waggys in the rear sua and 2 inch YJ springs SOA in the front? More Info Please. I like his setup.

whoops, old pics, that rig sits spring over now. that was with 4 inch superlift springs i think. not my rig though. just thought it applied here. it sits about 2 inches higher with the stock waggies now i guess.
