1) Not acceptable. You evaded the question. Where would you start?
Tires? Shims? Springs? Steering Box? Frame Alignment? Where?
2) If you are trying to help, then help, otherwise keep it to yourself.
Criticizm isn't help. Put up or shut up.
3) At least I'm here trying to get answers. Since I live in the
country, more than 90 miles from any major shop, I use this forum to
gather as much info as possible. And since I'm capable of doing much of
the work myself, the info I get here is a great deal of help. Thanks to
the effort of other posters here, even Bill.

Re: How much curve should there be in stock YJ springs?
Ok, cutting through all the BS, stock YJ springs will appear to be virtually
flat, with almost no arch. So, if this YJ has not been lifted, and still has
stock tires the following measurements will indicate if it has sagged, etc.
Front: Ground to underside of front bumber at frame: 18 1/8"
Rear: Ground to rear crossmember at tow hitch bolt hole: 17 1/8".
I took these measurements off of a brand new '95 on a dealer's lot back in
95 so I'd always have a reference. Hope this helps.
