I have broken my rear pass leaf out wheelin recently.And have acquired afull set of CJ military wrapped springs iwas under the impression that this swap can be done? :PNow i have looked came across tons of YJ this YJ that stuff but very little CJ swaps, have found2 be able 2 putrear CJ springs in the front with the missing link! :-/But right now the factor is the rear springs ineed to replace b4 the next club-outing c.o.r.e.(craving offroad excitement) in about 2weeks any info would be appreciative

I have been looking at doing the same conversion ever since I put my zuk back on the road after lifting. Mainly the ride in the back is harsh and choppy. I've put 1.5 " lifted rears on all 4 corners ... so the front ride is great but the rear sits about 1 to 1.5' lower (looks goofy).  NorthCoastOffroad.com has a setup for front CJ springs in the rear of a sammi.  Appears to keep the same axle position by moving the front mount for the spring forward. The longer spring should smooth out the ride. My question is what configuration for the spring pack to level out the truck?  

Another method I've heard of is to just slap the springs in with longer shackles.....doesn't sound like a great idea to me. Pinion angles and the like could probably get thrown off that way.

Anyhow, I'd also like to hear more about this from anyone who has researched  or done this mod. Thanks.

On the rear I think most people buy or fab a bracket for the front hanger and run a missing link or a long shackle. I'd say give Brent at Trail Tough 1-877-789-8547 or Sky at Sky Offroad Design (541) 736-3743 a call. They both do spring swaps.

I do like the quick response!ideas are very nice i will take your advice check out the nortcoast offroad!If anybody else has any suggestion i am very open to ideas so let me know thanx............

on the rear springs that you want to put in what is the length and the width of them and is the pin that holds them together in the center of the springs or offset? more info might help!

44 1/2inches long- 2 1/2 wide-and no offset sorry ishould have been more specific...

That looks to be an easy swap,your springs are 5'' longer than stock so you could put plates over your existing brackets and drill say a half inch hole in them 2.5" twards the front of the rig (less if you want a little bit longer wheel base) and make some longer shackles (one to two inches)and spring plates that are wider the inside of my brackets are just over 2 3\4" on the inside so see how wide your springs are on the ends with the bushings in them! if you have a welded rear you will not like long shackels!
