Not yet, I modified a set I bought from Ruff Stuff to get my Jeep back off of the jack stands.

Sorry, got side tracked. Here is a picture of what I have. I bought these off of Flint years ago, they came off of a 'passenger side drop' rig with a dana 44. I ended up not using them when I tossed a different axle in the front.

Thanks for the pic. I haven’t seen a set in over a decade, what’s the post on it for, sway bar? My axle has factory shock mounts on it. How much do yo want for them?

UPDATE: It looks like you are doing a SOA/SF (I saw your post in 'what have you done to your jeep'.)

If that's the case I think you actually need spring plates from a drivers drop rig, not a passenger drop rig. When you do the SOA the plates go on 'upside down' but still have to be on the right/left side. This puts the sway bar connection in the wrong place. It's why I bought these, I had a driver drop and did a SOA and the sway bar connections were in the wrong place. You might post up in the regular board and verify this.





Yeah, looking at this video:
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=wa ... &FORM=VIRE

They are for the sway bar.

I am not using them so how about $10 for the trouble plus the cost of the ride? I can probably get them into either a small or medium flat rate box, so figure $10 or $16 for the ride. $20 or $26 total.

If that works, send me a PM. I don't do paypal or whatever so you can send me a check (or money order or whatever) once you receive the parts.

74-79 spring plates and 80+ springs plates are not cross compatible as the u-bolt dimensions changed. The sway bar plate can be modified, but the plate itself has to be retained.

Sorry, I don’t get notifications from here and I’m coming off some surgery from early August.
Stuka is partially correct in that 79 and older spring plates are different than 80+ plates.
To my knowledge 79 was the only passenger drop year to have an integral spring plate that incorporates the sway bar mounts (besides the 80+ plates) the older 78 and down spring plates with a sway bar piece were 2-piece like Mikie showed and I’ve never seen a stock sway bar setup on a 75 and older rig.

Hey Tad, I hope the surgery went well. I sent him those plates and he's going to install them tomorrow. He's using them on a different rig than his SOA and says they will work.
