Springs

[adamsclarke]

Does anyone know if a rancho 44044 waggie spring is the same lift height as my J10 front truck springs. or the same as J20 front springs (not sure if there is a difference between J10 and 20 front springs....)

or will the waggie 44044 give me 2.5 over stock in SOA.
I know in my YJ they gave me 2.5" over stock in SOA....but YJ springs are very flat and my J trucks have arch to them????

[j20brett]

the 44044's will give 2.5" over stock height springs. But when combined with SOA it would be 7" + 2.5" so roughly 9.5" total.

OK...well..I don't want to be that tall.
I think the only way I'll be able to tell what I have is hold a 44044 next to my springs.

This has been one of those fun...."what the heck do I have" problem solving type things.

My front springs are a thick 4 leaf spring....is there a difference between J10 and J20 springs.

This is a J10 honcho with J 20 axles (from all I can tell...it looks factory....but I doubt that)

Any suggestion for stock height springs that are as flexy as the 44044?

I would go with stock Wagoneer springs. They should be the flexiest of the bucnh. J20 springs will flex like any other HD truck springs. Poorly.

J10/J20/Wagoneer/Cherokee front spring are the same (Well they will all fit the same hole) But Jeep offered them in ~6 give or take, or so spring rates/arches within any given year.
