Been a long process getting it to this point but now I need to do springs. Early wagoneer springs are bank I need to figure out how I am going to do this. I was wondering if I can run later springs with with modification.

I guess it depends how much modification one is willing to take on when trying to run later (74+) front springs on a 73 and earlier FSJ. This member's build thread says he used front CJ7 lift springs from BDS and made them work by modifying the bushings: http://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewtop ... 5&start=20
As for the rears, 76 and up Cherokees and Wags might (not sure) use a slightly wider leaf pack than you have now and the spring bushings will definitely be different. I'm not sure if the spring eye-to-eye length is the same or not.

Front and rear springs are both longer center to rear. I thought if only modified the rear sections to accomodate the longer back half of the spring. I thought all the jeep springs were 2.5 inches.
