71 jeepster commando leaf spring.

I'm trying to do SOA on my 71 jeepster (to get 4-5 inches lift).
Anyone know what used leaf sping will fit my jeep?

I belive the measurement is like this
Front, eye to center bolt 20" center bolt to rear eye is 26" ...width 2"
Rear , front eye to center bolt 23" center bolt to rear eye 33" ...width 2 1/2 "

I'm sure i need to do some modification.
I've heard XJ rear spring fit pretty good?


Any help would be appreciated ^^

 

I was going to suggest checking out the JCCA but I see you already did that .

 

http://www.generalspringkc.com/index.php?p=catalog&parent=144&pg=1 has springs. Hell creek http://www.hellcreeksuspensions.com/ has springs. Get new and save in long run. Also rear toyota truck up to 85 maybe fit front. Alcan and Deaver spring have done Jeepster springs so you can call them and get quote. I did SOA with a new main and modified fsj spring leafs and made it work to get 5 inches.

 

yes Pack Rat

 

Maydayks , i know hellcreeks has nice springs , but I'm short on cash so for now I need to go with used springs.
I'll look into toyata truck springs ... I see some springs from toyota will fit nicely on my jeep.....uhmm
Question, if I get springs from heavier trucks , won't the spring too hard for my jeep? won't it give hard ride?

I'm replacing my spring now because I have really hardride....but than again the spring that I have (rear) is so arched , I think thats why its giving such hard ride.

 

An idea for the rear springs. http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/showthread.php?81358-Leaf-Springs

 

Thanks Rich45!
dodge dakota measure pretty close

 

i think i have a pair of springs from a commando that are new but used for a little while. Ill dig them out get the measurements for ya

 

Hey jeep2003 The measurement is Rear 23"X33" width 2 1/2"
Front 20"X26" width 2"

Is it for sale?

 

Hey MaydayKs did you also do the SOA on front?
Didn't the tie rod and steer stablizer bar get in the way?

 

SOA up front uses original main with junk yard home made pack. Tie rod clears no problem but steering rod just clears with drop pitman arm. High steer setup is in the works as money tree blooms.

 

im not sure if you have taken care of your leaf spring issue yet, but I was searching here for SOA steering answers and found your thread. If it helps at all, I am using toyota rear leaf springs in the front and rear of my cj5 build in a SOA setup. they are from a 79-83 year range toyota 4x4 truck. They measure 21x27x2 1/2. I love them so far. VERY soft and flexy spring and cant wait to button up my build so i can test them out. So...there you go. If you want, you can check out my build thread and see pictures of my jeep with this setup. Im running 35" with these springs.

Good luck.
