I don't understand why you would even consider putting 1.75" wide springs on. Ask any Pre-76 CJ guy. But if you insist, spring hangers and spring plates. Need some spring plates?

most people want to put the wider springs on the front.
Really you don't want to put narrow springs on the back. Why are you thinking about this?

I dont think Cj came with 3" wide rear springs. They were either 2" or 2.5". At least all the ones I have delt with.

I'm gonna' side with you - I believe the widest springs that came STOCK on a CJ were 2". 2-1/2" for Wranglers.
