Post 3.5" leaf springs - edited 3/1/11
I broke a bunch of stuff on my bronco last trip out. It's all repaired now with the exception of my drivers side leaf pack. It's got a nice S-curve in it and causes my bronco to really lean!

Just a shot in the dark to see if anyone has an 11-leaf spring pack or a set they are willing to part with. I have a bushing kit so I don't care what the condition of the bushings are.

Thanks!

J.D.

Post Re: 3.5" 11-leaf National springs
OK, I am becoming less picky as this bent spring makes cornering on the street a bit of a bobble head experience.

So anyone have a spring pack or even a pair of 3.5" springs for sale? Ideally would like something that flexes well, but hate to spend a bunch as someday I want to move the axle back by getting longer springs. Just not ready for that now.

Hmm, I also have a set of BC broncos spring rockers that add 2" of lift, so if I got those back from my friend, I could get by with 1.5" lift springs.

J.D.

Noted. Thanks! I'll let this play out a while longer and see what else pops up.

Isn't there a spring mount that twists, wrists, or something that helps with articulation and adds an 1"? I will keep looking to see what the heck I am thinking. West Coast Broncos or something sold. Cannot believe I forgot who carried it. That may help for Brianut too.

I knew I should skip posting - telling you guys about a suspension part is like me telling a Doctor how to operate! The BC Bronco part is exactly what I was thinking about.

Has anyone tried the spring rockers? I've thought about a set when I replace my rear springs.

I had them on my '74 and I liked them. I used to have a comparison picture of me flexing that rig on a rock in nearly identical situations and I was getting a couple more inches of flex out of the rear. that was also with out-board shocks and add-a-leaf suspension. You could get more with better springs and inboard shocks.

NO longer in the market.

I broke down and bought a new set:

I hated to do it, but I think this is the best option for me. They appear to be exactly what I had before and was happy with. Hope to install saturday morning while moving the axle back 1"!
