Hahaa haa

Natebert is Nathan my hubby

I will measure out the springs later today after I wake up..... it's late and I just got home from work.

The springs cost me about 50 bucks for the pair. They are BDS and I got them from a local 4x4 shop.

ALLLRight....

Here's some specs for you all! The springs are measured at their longest point:

Stock 4 Door Rear Springs are ~11"

The Calmini rear springs that come with the 2" lift are ~13 1/4"

OEM Front Jeep TJ Springs are ~15 1/2"

BDS 2" Front Lifted Jeep TJ Springs are ~ 17 1/2"

If you use Jeep TJ Springs, the FRONT ones are what you use on the BACK of our Track/Kicks.

Here are some comparison shots:

Stock, Calmini, OEM Jeep:


OEM Jeep versus BDS 2" Lifted:


So....

There you go!

what did you do to the front springs?


The front springs are some used springs that I found in a scrap pile in the back of my local spring shop. They were about an inch longer and tighter wound. I have NO idea what they came out of, all I know is they worked.

Nope,

The Suzuki is her trucklet.  I drive another truck http://www.whitepineclub.com/members/kd7nwg/durango.jpg primarily.  We both go wheeling and work on her truck together.  You can see some pictures she's put together here; http://www.whitepineclub.com/members/kd7hcg/miscpictures.html
