Axle Swap Complete

Hope Springs Hauler · 09-06-2009, 04:43 AM

I just finished my axle swap. The 8.8 is in. I used the stock yj leafs in a soa configuration, Russell brake lines and JKS quick disconnects. It rides like a dream rather than the log truck it used to be.

One question I have is:
what can I do for leaf springs that are as flexable and soft as the yj's but have additional support at the front eye. (I have noticed a bit of a bend) I cannot tolerate ANY additional height. I had thought about the RE 1.5 SOA springs, but I dont want or need the additional height. Does this leave me with getting custom springs like alcans?
