chevy leaf springs on a samurai?

[airmanwilliams]

Ive heard alittle of guys using chevy leaf springs on a samurai and was wondering if some guys could shed some light on this?

 

[Chevycrew]

The only ones I could think of that would work are 52" chevy rear springs.

 

[Tacoma]

why wouldn't stock fronts work? I'm sure they wouldn't work any better than they do on Blazers but they aren't awful I guess hahah

 

[airmanwilliams]

thats it steve 52" was what I was told to use from someone but I cant remember who or on what site. Would like to see some more opinions on these or write ups if anyone can direct me to some, I havent had much luck in finding some.

ive never seen that done here on guam but i see som good results from toyota rears and cherokee rears

 

[zukijames]

toyota rears all around man!

 

[airmanwilliams]

that what your your running? any info on the swap?

 

[zukijames]

lol no im linked frontand rear. you still living in an apartment.. because any thing besides a bolt on yj kit is going to take some cutting and welding..

 

[airmanwilliams]

yup still in an apartment. someday I want to link the rear and keep leaf springs up front.

 

[zukijames]

801.885.9813 let me know if you got any questions.. ive got some yj springs.. we could throw them on the rear and then you could put your rear springs up front and it would be 23.67 % better ride than it is now

how much do you want for those leaf springs? mine are 3" deavers right now and they SUCK. I need to also find someone thats switching to yota axles too so I can get a cheap ott from them and just go spring over. Im itching to go spring over but I just need to find some cheap steering stuff.

 

[zukijames]

stay spring under with those yj's if you promise to use them you can have them..

 

[airmanwilliams]

well I may get some from a guy in kearns so I will get back to you if I dont. Thank you for all the help. How will the yj spring under lift compare to my 3" deaver spring under? How much lift do you think I will get using those versus what i have now?

brandon, listen to james, he reall knows his stuff about leaf springs (and he's not even running them). He's the guy I go to when I have leaf spring questions.

 

[airmanwilliams]

I could tell from reading the threads he listed for me to read.

spring under yjs will probably lower you an inch .. and if thats a problem just trim your fenders.. low cog is the way to go .. i would love a 96 inch wb zuk sprung under yotas at 37s would be soo fun!
