Looking for some leafs to run underneath the front of my CJ for some added wheelbase. My current leafs are about 45" eye to eye, with a centered center pin. Im running shackle reversal with my shackle about vertical, so longer springs for a better shackle angle wouldnt hurt. I tried to find the length and pic offset ofr waggy leafs, but came up with nothing. What are my options for 2-3" of added wheelbase.

Pretty sure CJ leafs are cross compatible with YJs and if that holds true then look into front wagoneer or other FSJ leafs. I know the front leafs are around 44-45'' long and have an offset center pin. I think it's 2 inches. Check google or check the TOTW threds. THey did a wheelbase stretch thing awhile back.

My YJ leafs measure 46" center to center. The waggy spring that I have measure 47.5" center to center. With waggy springs on all four corners you will net 4" wheelbase gain. That is if they fit. I'm guessing you have a CJ7?

Its a CJ5. The front leafs are outboarded right now for full widths, and are ready for 2.5" wide leafs. I need a fairly heavy duty pack since im running an amc360 and a 12k mile marker. How much lift will the 4404s net me? Ive seen people run 39s on the stock 7 leaf pack, when its all said and done I`ll either be running 42 Iroks or Tsls. I dont want to be too tall so with the stock 7 leafs work? Anybosy have pics of waggy leafs on a YJ or CJ?

Good information to know.:flipoff2:
Here is a good writeup and pictures of the offset on waggy springs. pay close attention to gerberhard's front setup with his leaf springs and his tire size. He has alot of good information. good luck!
