Basically, I have a nice stock 82 pickup with a collapsed or broken PS front spring and a complete set of stock height YJ springs that I intend to utilize in place of my worn out front springs.
There is not a lot of info on a stockish height swap - most everything I could find is using lift springs, moving the axle, hy-steer, etc. I am not looking to turn this thing into a crawler, but I would not be opposed to gaining an inch or so of lift. I do not want to move the axle - I understand I can redrill the spring perch - and I do not want to change steering.
Has anyone run a completely stock YJ rear leaf pack? I don't mind mixing and matching leaves, but I would like to avoid taking this thing apart ten times to get the right combo.
Anyone have pictures if they have done it? I have searched all the various sites and not come up with anything regarding stock spring packs.
Thanks in advance.
