Rear Spring warp
« on: January 19, 2006, 09:51:49 AM »
I watched a vid of my sami the other day and i'm getting some terrible spring wrap.  I was wondering what my options are to solve this problem?  It already has a 6" lift with stock spring so I'm not wanting to swap in a leaf that has any more lift built in but I'm want it to be flexy like it is now.  Help me out guys...

thanks-

Axle wrap in a spring over is common.  The best solution is to add in a traction bar.

Where is a good place to get some replacement springs and a traction bar (or do I just need to fab one up myself?)...

Thanks for the help!

Will the Rocky-Road http://www.rocky-road.com/zukdrive.html Traction Bars good enough?  Have to scroll down a little ways to see them.

Sky Manufacturing has a new bolt-on traction bar set-up that will work directly with your setup no cutting or welding required. We will be featuring this product shortly but until that time you can get an idea of what they look like by visiting their website and giving them a call.

Hawk Suzuki usually has rear springs available for a pretty good price.  A great way to get a set of replacements if you don't feel like swapping to the CJ or YJ springs.

I managed to put a S in both my rear springs making my way out of Rimrock in 2wd after my front end gave out.  A traction bar will be put in once we start running trails in the spring.  You don't really need one if your just up playing in the snow.

Sometimes I am just amazed how much damage you can do with 45hp and 42 pounds of torque...

I just added another main rear leaf it was cheap, I ramped a 944 with the stock rear springs all the way around, can't beat that for cheap. 30.00 per pair used and 50.00 for rears up front kit from rocky road.
