Suspension CJ7 Dana 44 Leaf spring

[Lccrawler]

Hello,

We recently did an axle swap on the jeep and went with factory rear YJ leafs all around. The jeep has a 350 in it and the stock YJ rear springs are totally flat now that it is on the ground. It is a spring over so not looking to touch the clouds but need a set of springs that can hold the jeep. Looking at BDS 2.5” springs. Any suggestions?

Thar be some mitey wide axles!
A YJ BDS 2.5 (IMHO) would be great. BDS is a good spring manufacturing company.
From your pic, do you really need more lift?

Thanks, I am gonna order a set and see how it sits. Haha that is the issue, I don’t want anymore lift so why I tired the stock YJ rears they just don’t have enough strength to hold the jeep.

The tires and wheels make it look wider. They are just for mock up and what we had laying around to move the axles around the shop.

Ahh, the pic makes it look monster truck ish...
A stock YJ replacement spring is probably best in your situation.

Not sure if this helps, but I've got an aluminum LS 6.2 with Tremec TR-4050 and Atlas tcase, weight loaded on the YJ 2.5" BDS springs, it still has an arch to 'em so it will probably raise your Jeep a little more. these pics might not help much, and I'm spring under on my Dana 44 , but you can see the arch with weight maybe...

Those are 1.25" shackles too. should make any difference in the droop though.
