give me the od id and rate and free height of the springs u want..might be able to hook a brotha up...

I haven't forgotten, just been working too much. Hopefully next week I can put my focus back to toys.

So I'm a little slow. Finally moved the jeep into the garage. Involved moving another jeep, a boat, a trailer, and an F250.

Frame height above ground = 26"
Axle centerline above ground = 17.75"
Wheelbase = 106" (front stretch)

Lower Links:
Spread at axle = 46"
Spread at frame = 8"
Height at axle = 1" above center
Height at frame = 8 1/4" above center
Length = 41"

Upper Links:
Spread at axle = 7"
Spread at frame = 27"
Height at axle = 9.5" above centerline
Height at frame = 13.25" above centerline
Lenght = 33.5"

Pics to follow.
