Re: CJ8 leaf springs -- what should I do?
Mike,
Looks like you want to keep things mostly original. Go to
http://www.willysoverland.com
They have many parts, some are N.O.S.. If keeping things original is what
you want to do I'd recommend going that way. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
but your springs are the same as CJ7 springs, so you may have to get those
since CJ8 stuff is few and far between.
