Will need to watch what year BJ40 you are putting the springs into.

Older ones run 15mm pins vs newer ones run 18mm pins.

Can be sorted just something to keep in mind.

Would these fit??



dunno about the rear springs but 70 series front springs are about 15mm longer than 40 series springs so they bolt straight in but you have to watch the centre pin coz it moves the axle further forward, cant remember how much but I think its around 70mm or something like that?
