Topic: Waggy Spring Question

[blu82project]

I hope this hasn't been asked a million times already. I am trying to find out if rear Wagoneer Springs will work on the front of my 82 Hi Lux, or do I need the front waggy springs? Also, I went with the 63in. Chevy's on the rear, do you see any problemss with the Waggy/Chevy setup?

Thanks,

Tim

Other than the fact that Toyota rears flex better....not really.

Is it a major pain, due to the Toy rears being shorter? I was trying to keep my axle in stock position. But I am planning on doing crossover steering anyway, so I guess I could deal with the forward axle movement at that time. How would you build the Toy pack for the front?

Thanks!

Start reading, it all varies with set up and rig weight

Here is some waggy info:

44044 SPRINGS
44044s are Rancho Jeep Wagoneer Lift Springs.
Length: 47" (Length is eye to eye)
Center Pin split (front/rear) 22.5"/24.5"
Bushing: 2 3/4" & 3"
Lift: 5.25 - 5.5" (Lift is approximate and uses 1.5" longer than stock shackles giving 3/4" of lift)
Cost: $250 (Cost is for both sides incl. shipping/give or take)
44044's do not (by themselves) move your axle forward. They are the same length on the front half as stock toys (22.5"). While they do move the axle forward because of the lift they provide (arch in spring), when they compress to the point that they are flat, it's the same. Estimated 1/2" of actual axle relocation forward.
