Suspension Spring Size Font/Rear

[OutEast-Jeeps]

I just bought ‘83 CJ7 with unknown lift Thinking about YJ spring swap.

Was just grabbing some measurements…..is it normal to have 2” wide front spring and 2-1/2” rear spring?

Also, the rear shackle hanger does not look like those I see with the width offset from frame.

Yep, different year CJs have different spring widths.

Do you want a better ride or a better off-road time?

Check the hangers also. 2 or 3 on mine were cracked and broken and I was the original owner. To me they are very brittle . Your looks original to me.

This is my 4th jeep, first CJ. I want a better ride, the only wheeling will be riding on beach sand.

I’m thinking going down to 2–1/2” OME YJ. Been following the Manic Mechanic thread. I think existing is a 4”.

Right now it is allover the road…
