I just tried the Wrangler springs in the rear. They do not flex out any better than CJ. I even opened up the clamps.

are you refering to cj front springs or rear springs? are you sure your shocks are not limiting your travel?

Are you trying to say your not amazed. Why don't you try again. <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Yeah, something is wrong. Those Wrangler springs are quite a bit longer than the CJ fronts - they should provide noticably more flex....

Got a dig camera??

scouter77 · 09-17-2001, 01:38 PM

dumb question but are the shackles maxed? If not how long? I know stock wranglers use pretty long ones...

mas2 · 09-17-2001, 01:56 PM

I have 7" long shackles and they are all the way down. The flex is good just not any better than CJ.
