CJ-7 Spring Over
Guest
Posts: n/a
Hey fellers, I don't have a wrap problem. The SOA was a great mod for my
Jeep. I used the CJ springs with what I belive is an add-a-leaf. I also
used the Rubicon Express anti-wrap perches.

Rubicon Express anti-wrap perches are a little longer, but not
enough to fix the problem:
http://www.mesa4x4.com/project_cj7/i...ing_perch.html
Clamp the spring packs together in two places rear of the axles, may
help a little, other wise it must work like this suspension:

Good luck.
You need to adjust your time imprint. Double click on the time in
your lower, right tray, and arrow in Arizona under Time Zone.
