Hey guys, as I am swapping axles, I thought...maybe a YJ spring conversion? And then I had questions that maybe you can gut check me with. As this is my first Jeep to mess with other than keep running, I don't have the experience of constant swapping or really anything to compare with.
Currently I have a Superlift 2.5 inch lift with 2.5 inch springs in back and 2 inch up front. I think the lift was installed 22 years ago by the previous owner. The leaves seem to be in OK shape, just dirty / grimy from age. Not rusty though.
I'm torn between just pulling the springs out and apart and cleaning, repainting them and reinstalling...OR buying fresh springs.
1) Will a YJ spring conversion make much difference over what I have?
2) Will a paint job and grease/teflon pads get these springs back to a nice ride?
3) Some "kits" are $1000 for a YJ conversion...since the back is ALREADY 2.5 inches wide, do I even need to swap those????
4) I'm not wanting to lift it further, I'd just be putting in another 2.5 inch kit.
Thoughts or experience? I have been looking at the OME kit from Rocky-Road.
Thanks, Jeff
