what leaf springs should i try to get in order to get the most flex and wheelbase out of my '48 CJ-2A? ive kept the stock ones for now, and dont like them that much. i want to go as long as i cna wheel base wise, and stillhave good flex. coils are not an option as of right now, since i have the cage on the way and tires and gears and an engine and shit

Some big thick ones from a 1 ton Chevy, make sure to include the overload leaf, that should be the best flex out there!

Rubicon Express has a great 1.5 in lift spring expecially made for SOA. The Eye are revers bent and they flex good.
On my '47 CJ2A I am using a mix of the lighter weight waggy springs in the rear with a heavy duty waggy main leaf. I tried to use the heavy spring pack exclusively, but they had 0 flex. The offset of 2 inches will gain you more wheel base as well. I went to coil fronts and gained about 11 inches of wheel base overall. Good luck!
