I obviously have seen YJ's with much more worn out springs than folks
are talking about here.... Maybe a rust belt thing. My stock rear
springs went flat, then shattered into little pieces and all the YJ ones
I have seen or helped replace were dead flat if not inverted. Had a
Chevy pickup and it's rear springs shattered too.

I've been lucky with this one. A little old lady drove it to the store once
a week for groceries before I got it. (my wife lol). So it was babied.
Stayed in the garage. It'd be in good shape for a 2004, but it's a 1994. I
have seen YJ's with springs that bent the OTHER way too, from obvious
fatigue like you're talking Mike.

Later,
