Dookey · May 22, 2008

leaf springs are for sissies.

chadjeep · May 22, 2008

x2, only idiots would remove links and coils to put leafs in a Jeep.

yes but...

I have run some tough trails with my CJ-7 on springs but after running Jack Hammer and Sledge Hammer last year they are now gone and a four and three link are going in. After looking at the pictures and seeing what my suspension wasn't doing and knowing what a struggle it was I decided I needed to upgrade.

i have rear leaves on my tj....it actually works good.cheap stretch.

Devil Dog · May 23, 2008

how about only half of a leaf spring???? or is that also too old skool????

Dookey · May 23, 2008

I heard that's what all the cool kids are doing. 1/2 must be better!

Redmist · May 23, 2008

I have to cut my leafs in half?

Shit!

Long ways, or just in half near the spring pad?

Urban Wheeler · May 23, 2008

Long ways, makes em flexy! :flipoff2:

Team covered wagon up here in the Seattle area. We run leaves despite the grief we get from EVERYONE! Even drove the water fall on upper helldorado on leafs. It all depends on how much you hate the hop.

Here's my pile on leaf springs.

HokieYJ · May 23, 2008

Some may not consider this hardcore, but it works for me. 2" springs SOA, 37s.

chadjeep · May 23, 2008

whatever I refuse to believe that leaf springs will ever work good. Wheel hop, axle wrap, there is no way you can combat these things to have an effective suspension.

TJ with coil springs.

YJ with leaf springs.

I never have had a problem with wheel hop.

rock-rod · May 23, 2008

I ran leaves for years. I ran a lot of hard core trails from coast to coast with just a plain old set of military wrapped CJ springs with them over the axles. Did it hop? Sure it did. Did it flex? Yep. It's what was 'in' back in those days.

It's only recently that I went to coils/links. Would I ever go back to leaves? Nope.

ROXROES · May 23, 2008

This is my buddies YJ on 60's locked with ARB's:

Doing a cage for it sometime, if I ever get to the Badlands I'll get pics of it on rocks.........:laughing:

EDIT
Damn Arizona looks like fun, the heat though................................

Bustabizz · May 23, 2008

My buddy runs Waggy Leafs in the front on his TJ on 42's works great, and I know another guy who runs Leafs all the way around on an LJ Unlimited. Both work awesome.

YeeP · May 23, 2008

Good looking TJ, sad to see it bastarded down with leafs... IMHO

Bustabizz · May 23, 2008

Does it work as good as something with a 3/4 Linked front?, NO, but it does work pretty damn good, and stable as hell.

77 oneton · May 23, 2008

i have a buddy w/one. works great. aweful rough though.
60 & shaved70 w/5.89's

weld it! · May 24, 2008

I built that one. It's good to see someone is still beating the crap out of it.

SkysTheLimit · May 23, 2008

Thought I remembered my Irok's cleaning out a little better than that ^^^

xjdoug · May 23, 2008
