Anyone know a place I can get a set? I think I got the Rancho's when I did my swap and the wide one wasn't wide enough. Oh yeah, these have the three that go around the tube while the fourth one goes around the housing.

Danny that for a XJ

It look like this... right? He has the old big Cherokee like the J10's

Goofieness:rolleyes:
 







I saw those ones earlier. But see how it says they're designed for the dynatrac axle? Plus it doesn't mention them being two different sizes. I'd hate to drop $200 on them and not have them work. Plus, thats $200 I could but towards some coilovers or something. :p:


Is that for an XJ? I have the guy at the San Jose 4WP looking. I spent 20 minutes on hold and he wouldn't find anything. He took my # down and said he's pretty sure he can get some. :eek: I think I found a new business opportunity.
 






Yeah, that's it, Stic. Not a whole lot I can change to run all the same size bolts too.
 






Find out what the specs on those bolts are (height and width) and see if it matches any of these:

Maybe Matt has a set... He just went from Leafs to Coils on his waggy axle:dunno:

The one is just a different size right? I had a custom set made for my truck (8.8) at a local shop, they did them while I waited:D But then they were to long so I ended up using some off a E-series
 












Any leaf spring shop should be able to just make one for you. Also might beable to try some of the big rig shops. If none of those will work for you I can send you mine. However I used the stock u bolts and they were barely long enough. If you have a tall spring perch and more then 4 leafs I doubt they will be long enough.
