Longer leaf springs. Suzuki SJ.

Hi.

I have done a RUF on my sj and now I need longer rear springs.

My question is, What springs have people used that are available/ cheap in NZ.

I know that mazda 808 springs are the exact length an' width I need, also same size bushes as the zook
but they are almost impossible to find cheap.

RWD 323 leaves are just a bit longer again. same bushes. but maybe too long.

What else will fit?? Dont really want to get some made. got qouted 300 a pair locally

Cheers, Adam

Buy EFS. they cost a bit, but will last a long time.

I already have lifted springs.
The rears work sweet in the front, now I need a longer main leaf for the rear springs. They are almost sitting on the shackles stop.

This is where I got my info. http://www.auszookers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2174

I see what you're getting at now. What about just getting a new main leaf made?

Yep that's what I asked when I rang Campbell engineering.

They said 300 for the pair. Typical Whangarei.

So your after longer for more flex? with longer shackles? I have herd bout jeep Cjs being used but unsure if they are too long for the stock locations or are you shifting the mounts as well. Was going to ask bout longer main but re read you post, they shld make the whole pack for that :!:

Yea I've seen those on tm. But them being in Oamaru makes it difficult.
I have one other chance. A mate with an 808. But he's in america atm.

Yea I've heard CJ works also. Haven't found a measurement for them yet.
Anybody got a cj they can measure the front leaves?
