Hey guys.
I've got an '85 drover I wanna get some new leafs for it beacause i think mine have had it, there laying pretty much flat. Its already got a 2" lift but yeah like i said the springs are laying basically flat. its got extended shackles aswell an I'm pretty sure the leafs that are in it are rears, are the front leafs usually the same length?
also because its an 85 drover does that make it the same as a zooki SJ410?
thanks guys.

Welcome to AZ,
Speak with Dank off this forum, he will be able to help you out with a new set of leaf springs
No, sierra rears are usually a couple of inches longer than sierra front leaves. Posting a pic will allow us to determine whether you have a chassis extention at the front, or if the shackles are allowing the fitment of longer springs in the front.
You zook will be an sj413 or sj50, sj410 is a 1litre sierra (slotted front grill).

Leave the flat leaf packs in there, you will have heaps more flex than you will with new packs, remove your sway bar too if it's still there. If you want the extra height for clearance reasons, put a body lift in or extend your bump stops.
