Well I started taking out my front leaf springs a couple minutes ago and noticed the stock bj42 ones are different lengths. Does anyone know what one goes on what side?

Should be the same?

Turn them around, military on one end?
 
nevermind... have measuring again they are the same :doh: but My back leaf springs are different lengths for sure.
 
60 springs should also be the same length... Gotta love PO mods.
 
Front 60 springs are smaller than 40s .. Not much but they are smaller..
 
One should have more arch and that one goes on driver side, this is for the lean, the OME dakar are built like this, so if they are both flattened out it maybe a little longer.

Still plenty of arch in them. guess they are not 60 series springs then. Found out my rear axle isnt straight either because one of the spring mounts is pushed 1 inch back. Bolts are stuck in the shackles too and cant get them out.... Looks like I have alot more work then I thought

I had that too... just torch out the rubber and then knock it out with a big hammer... new bushing kit is cheap at lordco or online.
