where do look for a set at? is it a simple bolt on conversion?
school me on this spring swap

It's a bolt on if you buy a conversion kit, otherwise you'll have to build/move hangers around as the springs are longer. As far as finding springs, Junkyard, classifieds etc... will get you what you need.

because it's tuesday right?:laughing:

I would say your best bet is under a YJ that's were I would start and then see were that takes you.

talk to sean at www.lowrangeoffroad.com Best service and tech advice I've gotten from a vendor. good prices too. Here is a link to my build that has pics thoughout. I used the sky kit.

Buddy of mine just cut his out of plate with a grinder. Find someone that has it done and make templates. You cant really tell its a homebrew job, looks like the fancy shit.

You don't even need a set to copy, just a tape measure and some cardboard to use as a template.

Your right. Most ppl that have seen it done, and have some experience with it will have no problems. But... This guy doesn't sound like he's seen it done.

Fwiw, I live just east of Fresno. You are welcome to make a day trip of it and come look mine over and drive it around my ranch anytime.

right i have not seen it done just heard of it being done

Just do some window shopping on the internet. Look at the kits that are available and duplicate the basic idea. All you need to know is where you want your axles and how to read a tape measure.
Travis..

goin with crash on this. its really not rocket surgery. Brackets, hangers, shackles, plates, longer brake lines and longer shocks with new mounts for them because of the amount of extra flex. then some different stering arms to clear the springs, and poof your done. You know what springs look like on other rigs. its all the same. just measure it twice before you weld it all together cause grinding sucks.
good luck.:beer:

can some one post a link to build thread of someone doing this conversion

is an ruf up front an yj springs in the back a bad idea? its definitley cheaper

thats a fine setup if its what ya got. Even RUF is going to need some sort of missing link or relocated spring perches. Sammis are the cheap option, cause we run whatever crap we can find and make it work.

yeah i want to run a missing link front end and the ruf missing link is only $130
versus the yj missing link being $299

keep in mind, you may need to add some spare leafs to the RUF pack since it will be supporting a lot more weight.

should i get the self aligning perches or the regular perches?who sells the little odds and ends such as longer brake lines,drive shaft spacers, axle spring perches the cheapest?

Low Range! Sean is the man!:D
