    Which leaf springs do you like

    I will be buying a set of 4.5" leaf springs and want to know who likes what brand. I am considering all brands. Deaver sounds like a sure bet but pricey. Is anyone running Rustys, Rough Country, Sky Jacker, RE? I am looking for a soft ride. Any other suggestions.

    I have seen a review of Treadwright retreads on Moab Jeeper Magazine and they seem to like them. Maybe good value for the money? Does anyone have first hand experience using these?

    I ordered a brand new AW4 from team cherokee today. I am tired of messing around with used trannys. Now that I have discovered the installation traps everything should be good now. Price is $1800.00 brand new. A rebuilt around here costs $1500.00 and up.

    teraflex revolver shackles on a xj

    I have to agree with Jeepster 259, 100%. I have owned a set for about 3 or 4 years now. I have been to Moab twice and the divide ride and other places with them and they work great.
