I have an ummmm beast (73 wagoneer under a 69 scout800 body, 401-TH400-QT) and want to do a lift in the rear as the stock/old wagoneer flat springs sag on one side 1.5" (has 2 helper springs on one side).
This evening I "Acquired" and installed (buddy left them at shop and forgot about them) a set of springs (I suspect cj7 or 8 because he has 3 of them) that are 52" flat springs with an offset pin at 28" from one of the eyes (I dont know if it was front or back....but the offset worked PERFECT when I installed it with the offset towards the rear) now it sits level (side to side not front to back) tires are centered in wheel wells and rides better than a 4x4 should but sits to low (old springs sat about 1.5" to low) I'd like to get 3" more lift to make it the body about level.
What can I scounge from that will work? or should I take a leaf from the old spring pack and add it to this one? (old one was 52" long but pin is centered)
any ideas or suggestions?
Take into consideration that I am broke due to wife in auto wreck and beind laid off (back to work now but have to catch up bills) so the cheaper the better....I dont have a problem with work and have access to all tools that may be needed to do just about anything.
