Title: rear leaf springs
Post by: jpgreen on December 28, 2014, 09:39:53 PM
Prior owner (Jim rest in peace) replaced rear leaf springs in 2006 with ESPO springs 1.5 inches added to the arch. These are already sagging below factory ride height. Does anyone know of another supplier of posssibly better quality springs? Need to replace those and am possibly buying another eagle in need of springs.

I got mine from general spring http://www.generalspringkc.com/ a couple years ago.  Seem to be holding up well.

Someone can chime in on this, but I recall that if you have a wagon XJ springs work. Mine were sagging in back and the factory Air Ride was struggling to keep the fenders off my tires. I took an XJ main leaf and cut the eyes off and put it in #2 position in my pack when I swapped in an XJ 8.25 rearend.
