Suspension Need to verify I have Stock Springs

[JeeperChris]

Hello again gang it's been a while. I want to replace my leaf springs and I'm 99.99% sure they are stock but I want to be absolutely sure. Is there any way to tell for sure that they are stock? They look just as old as the frame and axles. '79, 4 leafs up front, AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l -L6 motor.
Thanks.

I found this picture in another thread and I used the 24 1/4 measurement to the cargo bed. Mine seems to match that. Is there anything else I should check before I buy springs?

Sounds stock. What is the width of the spring?

Here is a great thread concerning CJ heights. -->> https://jeep-cj.com/community/threads/how-tall-are-you-i-mean-really.13239/

2.5 inch on the rear springs and 2 inch width on the front.

And where is a good place to buy from? Summit only seems to have one brand of stockers (no Omix or Crown).

Most aftermarket brands are lifted springs. Stock height can be harder to find. I have bought from -->> https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/leaf-springs/truck-suv/jeep/cj-dj-wrangler

How many inches lift does a CJ need before before it needs a Transmission drop kit and a new driveshaft? Such as, is anything needed with a simple 2 inch lift?

You can get by with no mods on a two inch lift. Some get longer brake lines but they are not necessary.
