CJ Steak
Bigger Hammer
Well after putting over a ton and a half of firewood in the back of my '62 PU, I climbed underneath and could see how shot my spring bushings and springs were in general. Mind you the truck only squatted about 2 inches in the back, but the bushings were non existent. I can also feel the rear end walking around a little bit if I get on a crappy road.
Long story short, I don't want to pay over a grand for the full suspension kit that Kaiser Willys wants when every other leaf sprung 4x4 in the world costs around 500 bucks for the same thing, give or take. (talking stock springs here, nothing special)
Are there any other springs for a different application that will bolt up to my pickup? Will CJ7/CJ8 springs work? I remember getting a Rough Country lift for my '49 CJ2A years ago and it was only 300 bucks. I know Rough Country makes pretty cheap leaf spring kits for a ton of different applications, and cheap too.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
