Thanks bmorgil!
By the time I read your reply, I actually found the entire set at "The Jeepster Man." The price seemed reasonable and they arrived today. I dug out my 4 used springs from the side...

I'm confident if I had to return these, that they'd get right to that shop near the Indian oil petrol pump #3! :D

I need the U bolts now, totally forgot. I think my 40+ year old bolts are a little...

And, FINALLY after over a year since I started this thread, my shackles have arrived. I tried three different US sellers (including Kaiser first) for getting these blasted things. Kept waiting and...

I will eventually post on my suspension, but like many others, I'm still waiting on availability of shackles. I miss the days when there were actual stores, that had stuff. Now it seems all these...

I recently did have a fight with an expandable foam can! Stupid built in "straw" kept clogging up so I cut it shorter and shorter and it kept a' coming out! I guess I should have held it upside down...

NICE!!! I really wanted to fire a bullet in this crappy paint can, bought at ACE hardware. Luckily the second can worked and I avoided painting myself!

Thought I'd post something relevant to the topic I started!
Since the jeep is "running" now, I'm back to dealing with my bucking bronco Rancho suspension that I hate now. Funny, when I was 17 it...

Ok that was a good one, again!
The funny thing is that I really started "parting it in" by storing that crap inside, making it a CJ3B "wheeled storage container."
Only thing in it now is my...

Thanks for those good words too!
It was something I had considered for years. And I already had c6/c7 discectomy fusion 4 years earlier. So, why not do the entire neck?!! This was now "revision" at...

That's hilarious, and thank you for that story. The irony: waking up to that scene after major neck surgery. I can't imagine the "future damage" that will occur to those riders. UGH!
I woke up in...

I had forgotten that "bucking bronco" feeling when I drive it at about 40mph. Ouuuuuuuuuuuuch!!!! I'm not 17 anymore!

I wish the healing would be faster than 4 months, and counting.
Well regardless... the leaf springs are getting picked out for me in the next few days. I'm REALLY looking forward to getting this...

There's a titanium plate in my neck now but I think I'll leave it there! :)

Thanks all, again! I've ordered new shackles but they're back ordered. Jeep Hut had a decent price but they're back ordered until May. I can't wait that long now because, after driving it a little...

I'm back... alive more or less. Surgery was "successful" but still in pain. Doctor says it can take a year or more for results sometimes...
In the meantime, I finished my brake overhaul and back to...

Thank you! I installed another brake line yesterday: that little squiggly one to the wheel cylinder. Tomorrow morning, the surgery "party" starts. I'll order my leaf springs while I'm out of service....

That's a great point. Thank you. Yes at least I did know the "reason for holes" like the huge-*** one on the side for the CB antenna! That will be one of them that I'll have filled in eventually...

I wholeheartedly agree!! What I thought was good back in the late 70's has changed a little.
Working on this jeep is somewhat surreal. It sat so long in the garage that it became sort of a "ghost"...

Thanks everyone!
I was obviously undereducated on suspension when I bought that set. Well, I was 16 and now I'm nearly 60! (I was 15 when I bought it - my first car!)
I think I'll remove them and...

So, 41 years ago, I had to copy my friends and get this Rancho leaf spring set. Originally there were 4 leaves which was WAY too stuff. I removed one spring years ago and the darn thing is still too...
