Custom leaf springs "DIY Pack" - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

ogreshooter · 10-15-2007, 11:30 AM

Looking into an SOA on my 1990 Wrangler. I am currently SUA with 4" RE springs. I have at my disposal those leaf packs, a set of stock leaf packs, and maybe some others out back. I want to build an SOA pack out of those and keep the lift small, around 1-1.5". Is this possible, or just buy new RE springs? Trying to keep the cost down so I can afford more in the steering and axle wrap categories.

1990 Wrangler, 4 cyl, 5-speed, stock axles. I do not want to lengthen my wheel base, just SOA stock length.

Thanks

I build a few packs, (check my thread), some pics, etc. You can definitely build a pack with what you have.

lol, yep, the bigger one

I think has some shots from some old pack builds, I may have repleaced with teh waggy pics, but basically the same thing. I just made some srping clamps out of stock and 8 grade bolts as the old clapms had a habit of breaking apart
