Why not to jump your 60

[SHERMAN FJ62]

I accidentally jumped my cruiser and broke some of the springs on the psg side front. I believe according to guy I bought it from 11 years ago it has a 2 inch lift. Should I replace just broke spring or do it in pairs buy the OME replacements and be done with it?

Anyone know how to tell a stock spring from a OME one?

I currently have 31's on stock rims.

I'm thinking those were broke long before jumping it. those are not new breaks, they are all rusty. those have been broken a long time.
is that gear oil on the backing plate, probably should repair that also, knuckle rebuild.

I would change as a pair, if that side looks like that, the other can't be in great shape.

Playing hard!!!

Lighting is bad they have surface rust on them. I could probably paint the truck rebuild the engine while replacing the springs but this is a hunting truck not really driven that much. There could have been one spring broken but I think I would have noticed, not 4.

Hope everyone got some enjoyment

Hit a rise on a two land country road that is a bump at speed limit of 50 but a jump at 65-70. It was dark didn't see it until I hit it.

LOL....got a similar spot, I use it to check death wobble, tires don't quite leave the ground though.....

With the amount of muck and garbage on those springs I would say you are going to have a hard time finding markings to see if they ARE OME springs. My vote is that you just get new suspension and be done with it.
