The springs on my SOA '91 are about to replaced as they are worn out.
Question: Do i go with the RE springs, or stock wrangler springs??
Thoughts, comments, help please.

I basiclly did the same thing as nobody did.

Wrangler springs are 5 leaf rear, 4 leaf front typically.

What you do is take both packs apart, Take the main leaf off the 4 packs, cut the eyes off and put them under the main leaf on the 5 pack. Then take the second spring on the four pack and put it on top of the 5 pack making a 7 leaf pack.

This is with 35s



This is with 36s (sorry about the flex shot but I dont have any of it sitting still with out us on the tires.

Thanks people. I think i'm gonna go with the RE springs. Heard lots of good things, and they don't sag as quick as Wrangler springs. Also i got a great deal, $92 per pack! Sounds like a lot until you know that normally they run around $120 per pack!

WheelingPiazza, nice looking 5.

Are you running the 36's on 8" or 10"

I'm running the RE's right now. They do really well, ALOT better than the stock Wrangler packs.
I hear they are made by Bet's.
Everyone that has seen them wants to buy them from me when I get my 56" Alcans.
Yeah go for it, you won't be disappointed with them. ;)

You've seen my junk Tim (Big Bear, LCIR). Sounds like you found a good place to buy them from. I've been happy with mine so far.

Any idea as to when they'll be delivered? I might be able to help with the install.
Joe??

I did count on it.
Anything I can help him with?
I have the rear suspension design figured out, still working on the front.
