Those should work. There are also 10-leaf versions available, although not as cheap as the 8-leaf: OMIX 18201.02 Front Leaf Spring 10 Leaf Pack for 41-53 Jeep MB, CJ-2A & CJ-3A.

Where did you send them to be upgraded and how much did it cost? Been thinking about doing this to mine or seeing if someone will sell me the parts to do it- if they sent you the itemized parts list needed for the upgrade I would love to see that. Do you notice a difference in the ride?

Nice! Did you use the retrofit HID brackets? what kit did you use?

Did you weld the drain holes or do you have some sort of removable cap? I would add drain holes with a good sealing plug if it does not. Also, do you keep it outside (use a tarp)? If kept inside, where did the water come from- maybe something leaked and you did not notice?

Just making sure, but you are talking about these, right?

Definitely interested in these.

I'm of the same mindset- why fix it if it's not broken? Although, there are still times that I forgot I locked it and try to close the hatch which can't be good for the hinges. Not sure if it was here or GXOR but I have read of only one case where the lockout mechanism actually broke.

There are many of us who have converted from air to springs; if no one chimes in that has removed them already I will gladly take off my height sensors and send them to you; but I won't have a chance to do so until Sunday probably.

There's a couple inches between the end of the valve and the skid plate so I would imagine a lot of other stuff would be getting crunched before it got damaged but it's still a valid concern. I feel pretty comfortable running mild trails with it although I do plan on upgrading my skids this year.

I had something like this happen to me but with slotted/ drilled rotors. It would only shudder under braking from 50 to 40 mph but not at higher or lower speeds. When I swapped out the rotors and pads for solid rotors and new pads the shudder went away. However, the old rotors and pads looked...

I use a Fumoto drain valve that makes oil changes a bit easier and minimizes the risk of damaging the oil pan threads. I haven't found a way to remove the filter without the removing the skid plate, though.

Looks real good! Did you make the bracket for your rear bumpstops or is it the one from Wheeler's?

You know, I've got about 40k miles with a lift on mine (total of 105k) and I get the same feeling. I am pretty sure it's the lower control arm bushings since I get weird "tracking" issues over road imperfections and I have SPC uppers. My tires look fine but I'm going to have it aligned again and...

Oops- I don't go online much on weekends but, yes, I still have them.

I actually just removed my Trail Tailor points and replaced them with the Apex Overland points and can confirm that the TT points do not interfere with my '09's stock loops. FYI, I took out the TT points because the bolt head was touching with my ebay aluminum radiator no matter what I did- it...
