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.
