    Wayback Machine, clever! Forgot all about that, thanks!

    I was looking for exactly this, 76 vs YJ eye-to-eye:
    • 1976 on CJ front = 42.5" x 2"
    • 1976 on CJ rear = 42" 2.5"
    • YJ front = 42.5" x 2.5"
    • YJ rear = 42" x 2.5"
    I'm putting D44s on my 76 (with outboard YJ spring conversion in front), and was wondering whether I could use YJ springs in the rear, too.

    I kind of hoped to compare spring rates and arch too, as the YJ is undoubtedly heavier than my tiny little CJ5, but this is better than nothing.

    Thanks again.
