57" Ford springs? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

DRKelly · 10-12-2005, 01:54 PM

I bought a Samurai last March, and will be building it up this winter. My question is about spring choice. It seems that most people use CJ/RUF, or YJ's. A few use XJ's in the back, and I have heard a couple of people mention using 57" Ford springs. I am interested to hear comments about this, because I have the stock 57" springs off my Bronco laying in my shed. Any pictures and comments of these on a Sami would be great.

I can get a set of CJ springs from a buddy for free to do the CJ/RUF, and have also found a set of YJ's for $100 so I am just checking out all my options.

Thanks,
Danny

It is still under construction, and probably two months away from completion. I don't have any up to date pictures, but here are a few from a couple of months ago.
