What did you do to your TJ today?

YJ springs are longer than CJ springs. I love CJ's and wheeled the hound out of them. I never had as much flex from a CJ as a TJ has.
You just need to "tweak" those leaf springs a bit. (YJ)

Coil overs beat leaves every day!!!!
I submit exhibit "A" for consideration...
For the record, this is NOT my vehicle...found internet photo.
My yam pouch definitely isn't big enough to drive something that looks like that, and I'd like to think my brain is big enough not to allow that kind of thing to happen in the first place...

I get it. Everyone knows you need to weld your stacked lift blocks together…

No need to use lift blocks if your springs are arched to the point they can't flex !

I was hoping someone else was going to address that line of thinking...
Sprung over custom leaf packs, (waggy springs and YJ springs were all the rage for a while) will flex damn near as good as coils.
Biggest drawback to leafs is that sudden extra omf.. when the spring finally unloads and the shackle swings down it can make them a little more tippy... overy!!!
Project 50 shades of Yellow:
Few odds and ends to button up, close this phase, rear antirock, windstar cowl intake, rear springs swapped out

I put the doors back on and reinstalled the fuse for the door switches.
Road trip to pick up four 2006 Moab wheels. Now to find a couple more…,
We took an early morning trip. That's all I'm going to say. 
Loaded and ready to head to Hollerwood tomorrow morning for the weekend.
I temporarily relocated my license plate , I used a cheap plate mount off of Amazon
Kuck Famala!
...And the whore Willie Brown rode in on...
I guess that would be the same thing though.

The battery is front Napa , Marine dual purpose AGM 750 CCA with 55 ah reserve . I mounted a 300 amp circuit breaker next to the battery and ran it straight off the battery with a custom piece of 1/8 inch steel to basically build a bus bar . Then on the fender well underneath the battery I mounted a 200 amp continuous duty solenoid that is operated by a switch in the dash that I installed just to the right and under the steering column . The winch and inverter are both attached to the solenoid. I didn't want the inverter positive or the winch positive cable to be live all the time . The solenoid control wire , #10 hot wire for the power port and the power cable for the inverter run across the firewall inside wire loom and to the inside through the rubber plug for the wiring harness on the driver's side . Then the positive cable and a #10 hot wire , inside wire loom , runs with the wiring under the lip of the body pan to the rear cargo area . It is covered by the plastic moulding. The negative cable runs down from the inverter through a rubber plug in the floor and attaches to the frame underneath for a solid ground . The inverter and power point are mounted underneath our cargo deck .
This is an 800 watt inverter that I had laying around . I may change it out to a larger one later if needed .
