New Leaf springs
Which end gets the military wrap ? Frame or shackle . Any one want a set of Black Diamond 3 " springs. Used, and probably not a true 3 " anymore. FjR68

Re: New Leaf springs
If they're the late CJ springs you're talking about from your build thread, There should be two different size bushings on the spring. The large bushing (usually with a larger bolt) goes on the frame end.
You can't bolt on experience!!!!!!

Nope! AMC just happened to get their hands in everyone's cookie jars!!!!!!! My old '83 CJ had Bendix (ford) brakes, Motorcraft (ford again) ignition, and a AC Delco (GM) alternator!
