I have a samurai with toy rears up front, they are set up so the offset pin is forward more for wheelbase. Shackle is in front. My rig sits a little higher in front, and i wouldnt mind lowering the whole rig. The first trip out i bent the spring at the stock spring clamp about 6-8 inches away from the frame mount. I had stock 3 leafs, then a 3inch lift spring from a samurai.
So obviously these werent strong enough. I was on some slick rocks, and i didnt havea front locker yet, so i bashed into one, and thats about it.

I got another set of rear springs, and i also got a set of fronts. Has anyone mixed front springs with rears? The fronts are so flat, i dont know if it flex bad or what.

I was thinking
1. Rear main
2. rear millitary wrap
3. front main with eyes cut off, just a couple inches shorter than the 2nd leaf. Then i would get some square ubolt type spring clamps to clamp those three leafs together.
4. rear 3rd leaf

I really dont think i need any more than that, the sammy is pretty light. I just wanted another main in there to strengthen things, and the front main would flatten the pack out a little.

thanks!
And i did read the entire ruf faq and there was no mention of my question.

So whats your question?

If you read the RUF thread, you would know there isnt much of a "formula" for making spring packs. Trial & Error.

I am just asking if anyone has done it before. We all know the stock fronts dont flex at all, i was asking if the main leaf (from a front) in a rear pack would flex.

And also if the pack would be able to clamp together since fronts are so flat, and rears are arched. I dont want the flat leaf hanging down away from the pack like the overload does.

egg zachary. even if there were a formula, only trial and error will get you what YOU need. buy some spare u bolts and spring pins in case you need them.

x3 this is something you have to try and modify till you get it right.

Thanks, thats exactly what im looking for.
I looked at your photobucket pics and it looks like your springs arent too arched when sitting level. That will keep my rig nice and low.
