I tried YJ mains with a bunch of random leafs and didn't like them,
then stock Waggy packs, but they sat at about 6" new and I'm sure they just would have sagged some,
now I got 3.5" YJ springs from BDS, $61 each, full military wrap both ends, no-questions asked lifetime warranty and they gave about 8" new and are settling down to a perfect 7".

also, if you look up ashmanxj, he used XJ main leafs and Waggys mixed under that, and in hind-sight says he would have used shorter leafs like YJs or Waggys.
44044s (2.5" waggy springs from Rancho) would be good too, but cost too much at about $250 a pair.

Keep the coils! - linked suspension will be much nicer; especially if you build it correctly!

If you couldn't guess I picked the 2x4"s...

Anyone else, I have been leaning more towards the YJ setup. But The SJ leaves are the most popular so far. I was looking at the 44044's but not for $250 :bawl: Plus they give around 10" and I don't want to go that high. I do remember reading that ashman would have run a different setup now that its all said and done.... :repair:

be sure to build about an inch of adjustability (extra holes) into your spring and shackle hangars, and anticipate the leafs to sag an inch.

I've got 2.5" yj springs now on my d30 with trimmed fenders and 36" swampers. I had some help figuring out I had 7" of lift. :looney:
