This helped me out a bunch! I called to ordered some new leaf springs, they sent me heavy duty ones that have three center pin/bolts instead of the one my truck uses.
Probably not. It depends on which side the but is on…obviously if the axle is under the spring it won’t happen. But if it’s over the spring and the nut is in the bottom it is possible. But to be safe, you really shouldn’t do it with weight on it. And you HAVE to be certain it’s the overload spring.

You can do it a bunch of ways. Or a combination. A longer shackle is one way. But a 3 inch longer shackle will give you only about 1.5 inches of lift. So not much. A different spring completely is an option too. It those often don’t ride as nicely as factory unless you move the mounts on the frame. You can also move the spring to the top of the axle instead of having it in the bottom. That will also change the ride height by a fair amount (this is referred to as a spring over). If the spring is already on top…you can put a lift block under it (although I don’t recommend that). So lots of options.

I am adding air bags to a S10 will a single leaf still position the axle and keep pinion angle rather than going to a 3,4,5 bar system?
Sounds cool. If it’s done right it will be decent. Obviously there is a reason why when people do that they link them. But have fun!
What springs did you go with? I’m about to do a yj build and a lot of people recommend wagoner springs in front and xj springs in the rear.
Hry! so i used wagoneer rear springs on all 4 corners. they are 57 inches long and almost match the weight of a jku perfectly.
No one is talking about how this dude is literally Fonzi from DipYourCar 😂😂
Who is that? 😂 you DEFINITELY have me confused with someone else. 😂 that’s why no one else is talking about it. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha
@@WarPaintOffroad You look and sound exactly like him, it’s uncanny
Is it possible to remove the bottom load spring while on the car?
Probably not. It depends on which side the but is on…obviously if the axle is under the spring it won’t happen. But if it’s over the spring and the nut is in the bottom it is possible. But to be safe, you really shouldn’t do it with weight on it. And you HAVE to be certain it’s the overload spring.

How do you lift a jeep with leaf springs

@@WarPaintOffroad ok thanks. I'm looking at a yj now and was trying to figure out how to lift it if I end up getting the yj
