Title: NEW REAR AND FRONT LEAF SWPRINGS
Post by: raymond on June 18, 2010, 08:14:32 AM

Hello zuk group:

I NEED TO CHANGE MY ORIGINAL LEAF SPRINGS FOR MY SAMI JX 87

Does anyone know which leaf spring is the closest one to original specifications; Rancho, Trailmaster, Dakar, etc.?
How many inches of lifting is the original specification for rear leaf springs?
Please need advise.
 
Thanks to all. Raymond

No, I only want the same factory lift, but at the same time fortified the rear for towing. thanks for your response

i just put Old man emu 1.5" springs on mine, but haven't finished everything else to take it out.  i have heard they are a fairly soft spirng but they seem pretty sturdy.  i have a full set of stock ones if your interested

When I replaced OEM springs I just gave Hawk Suzuki a call and had them ship me some used ones in good shape.  You snag a leaf from your old pack as well to give you some extra strength for carrying capacity.
