HZJ73 Spring width and length??? (1 Viewer)

[Rvl]

Have been looking around and there isnt alot of information on my new hzj73.
I am looking for spring width and spring length.
I think the width is 2.75inch but I'm not sure on the lengths.

Trying to figure out which spring will give me the most flex.

Thanks

I used Dobinsons 75 series on the front and light duty 60 series on the rear.The 60 series is the same spring as the 73.Works great. Australias top 4x4 mag ( Dec issue of Aust 4wd Monthly)did a 7 page spread on the history and quirks of the 70/73/74.It also included an article on suspension setups and they reckon to get the best flex from a 73/74 is to remove 2 leaves from the front and 3 from the rear and have them reset by an expert familar with the job.No experience with this method but it does seem a bit light on.Might be ok for trails but I think it would limit the load carrying abilities.

Thanks.
Do you think you can get me a copy of that magazine?
I'll pay whatever you want plus shipping to Japan.


Thanks
