Leaf Spring Help On Wagoneer 1978

[papampi]

HI GUYS
I need some technical information on lift kits (leaf springs) diameters for my 1978 wagoneer because I live in Iran and I dont have any access to skyjacker , roughcountry , ... and I need to make it from other types of leaf springs so if any one can please send me the dimentions of them I would be very gratefull .
by the way I just signed in to .and its great comunity.

Gays? i'm not sure how many of those you'll find here....

just spring over the front, for the rear find leafs with more arch that are the same width and mix and match them to your main-leaf.

thanks Brett
but the problem is my leaves are not good enough and thet are so rough and in very bad shape and i want to change them anyway .

 

[BrettM]

can you import anything from the US? if not, I think you're out of luck here. just head to your local junkyard with a tape measure and try and find something...

these are the leaves that my friend runs... not sure if they'd ship to Iran, but they have an 800 number, so they'd pay long distance if you caled them to ask...


good times!

Papampi --

Leaf springs don't have a "diameter," so I think we have a language problem here. Am I correct that you are looking for the stock (standard) dimensions, such as the length between the eyes and the amount of arch in the springs?

I have a Rancho suspension catalog here that lists a front spring for the 78 Wagoneer. This is listed as a 2-1/2 inch lift spring. Part number RS44044. Remember that a stock spring will have less arch, and possibly a lower spring rate.

Rate = 300 pounds per inch
Eye-to-eye = 47.00 inches
Arch = 6.58 inches

The eye-to-eye length they list is the "flat" length, which means this is how long the spring would be if you laid it on the ground and weighted down both ends to make it flat.

It's a 6-leaf spring, and the distances from the eyes to the center pin are 22.50/24.50

They do not have a listing for the rear springs so I can-t help you there.

No manufacturer lists that information. You will need to go to the IFSJA web site and ask if someone would measure their springs for you. Our club is for the 1984 and newer small Cherokee and Wagoneer, so it is not likely that any of us will have Wagoneer leaf springs to measure.
