Narrow or wide track? Narrow will have springs under the frame, wide has outboard mounted springs. If it's narrow you may be able to use CJ springs.. I've done preliminary measuring on mine and they may fit. Wide track's I think you may have to go custom...but someone else with more wide track experience may say different. Oh..and welcome to the site..I'm in washington as well.
