I am going to go with the new CJ-5 springs. I understand they are the same.

: Narrow or wide track? Narrow will have

: under the frame, wide has outboard mounted
: springs. If it's narrow you may be able to
: use CJ springs.. I've done preliminary

: 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

: being new at these FC also one might want a

: was built on a CJ frame. See if the springs
: are the same size, how wide are your leaf
: springs? Count the leafs and my guess is it
: would work, but check this site again after

: Hi,
:
: I have to replace all four springs in my
: "58 FC-150 (11 broken leafs!) Quotes
: from 3 local spring shops run from $850 to
: $1,000. Web sites run $600+ with shipping.
: I found a possible deal at JC Whitney - all
: 4 springs for $400. and free shipping. The
: problem is they do not list the FC. They do
: offer a range of springs for the '58 CJ5
: including 7 & 9 leaf ones like my FC.
:
: Will these work?
