add a leaf or schakles??

Anyone know where to find the Rancho spring kit for a 94? I tried looking and can't find springs for the front or add-a-leaf kits. Also, what difference does using a spacer up front under the springs make?

Can anyone answer my spacer question? If there isn't a difference which is easier to install? What is the difference between these and the spacers O'rileys has for under $10 and go inbetween the spring coils? I know those would prevent complete compression by the springs so that would add lift but is that what I am looking for?
 






WHen people talk about spacers I invision a think piece of metal that goes between the bottom of the spring and the axle ...not something that streaches the spring...those that streach springs I don;t think would be as good for the spring.
 






That is kind of what i was thinking as well. Do you have the spacers? or know anything about the spacers from JCW? like I said I don't have the catalog and have no idea which is better. I want the one with the easiest install, unless one is just that much better than the other.
 






Hi Airwake, I got my Rancho Add a Leaf at 4 Wheel Parts. Try this address: www.4wheelparts.com/ . As for my springs, I got them from Performance Products. Go to: www.performanceproducts.com . I'm sure they'll fit your '94 since I don't think the suspension is different from my '91. And for the spacers, I think the ones which fit under the springs would be the way to go. This route wouldn't keep the spring from doing its job whereas the spacers which go in between the springs and extend them would make the spring stiffer. Hope this helps.
