Hey all,
I've been in "lurk" mode for a while on this forum, and finally decided to ask a question!
I have an '88 Suzuki Samurai, all stock for the time being. Has anyone ever flipped the rear overload springs over to lift the rear(to save money instead of getting a set of add-a-leafs)? I was thinking of also adding a set to the front. I know that they would have to be cut-down/played with a little for it to work...

Lostsamurai has done this... I will let him know you are looking for info!!!

That would be awesome. I really apreciate it!

Anybody have any info to offer? I am on the verge of just starting in with the PB Blaster and angle grinder...

This is lost, all you need to do is grind off the bolts (spring pack and the little c shaped bracket) flip the helper, and the c shaped thing and replace the two bolts, you may have to place all the leafs in a vice so they will stay compressed long enough to get the bolts in, ive done this on the rear to prevent axle wrap, and then i put a set of rear springs on the front of my sami and did the same to them. any q's just ask sorry it took so long to get back to you i thought the post was on zuktah's forum.

Sounds simple enough. Did you end up getting much lift out of it?
Thanks!
