Sounds like YOU need to buy some property in Index too! At $4,000 a lot, you can do quite a bit with just a little $! "If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." - - Ronald Reagan y'all know I've been trying to get rid of an engineless '92 xj for some time now... it went away but wants to come home... worked sort of a deal to part with it, but going backwards on it... in the meantime, chatting with someone about their old engineless cj-2a, also a 1948 (like mine) we talked about a straight trade... there are several parts on this cj-2a I can use to get mine near 100%, or vice versa... shhhh... don't say anything to my wife though... ;) anyway, am I nuts to consider getting another cj-2a? I can hide these pretty easy in my shop... ;) http://wagoneers.com/Willys/1948-CJ-2A/ALL.html thanx, john http://messenger.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200471ave/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 20:17:00 -0400 From: "Neal Hoover" Subject: fsj: stock front springs wanted i'm looking for a new-ish set of stock front springs for my j-truck. i want to use them in my SOA conversion. btw, is there any reason why a set of front springs from a GW won't work? thanks!

BUT, there are differences in pack thicknesses and arch. the differences in pack arch could throw unloaded measurements off, but the distances between critical points should all still be the same at static ride height.
