they are about 100mm longer than efs lifted rears.
they are 50mm wide like sierra springs.

cj7 fronts is what your after.

it will move your diff about 50mm back.

This is a start.

http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_Spr ... s/1947.htm

This one gives you everything but the spring length :roll:

But you can compare the pring rate between the MQ and the Sierras

This may come in handy for someone later on.

the way i figure it, rear sierra are around 100mm longer than front sierra springs.
so CJ being around 100mm longer will be equivalent to RUF.
and we have all seen how much improovment is in a RUF setup.

something to consider tanshi is that theres next to no weight in the rear - the reason the front benefits so much from RUF is that the rear leaves have less rate than the fronts.

true, but the benifit will be more than normal two inch lifted rears.
plus if you play with spring rate like you should any way you will get even more benifit
