*The OME springs speced are J1R and J1R 4 leaf and 5 leaf accordingly.
*Spring rate is per pair unless otherwise noted.

I can see why Procomp was so stiff on my old YJ, the rear had 4 leafs and the front had 5 so I pulled a leaf out of the front making it much better. Did you see spring rates for coils?

[Jesse-James]

No, only had em for us YJers.
