 :nerv:   Any word on Marlin's rear springs lately.  I just checked out my rears and they are beat to crap.  I'm thinking of sticking to the just replace everything with new parts theory.  With that in mind Marlin's front springs are looking like the perfect choice and hell, if I could get the full round from the Man then, well, that would be good.

On a side note, a question about installing my crossover steering.  Will the original '85 lines bolt right up to the IFS box?

Thanks!
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

I also need new rear springs, How much lift will they have? price? Due date? I am only looking for about 2 inches since I already have 1.5" lift from the shackles. I was going to buy Downeys, but if Marlin is making springs I can wait a little longer. Any info is appreciated!

Needs a 3.4 swap. ..

Bueler.  Maybe even specs on the springs.  Like are they going to be offered in a 3" and 4" lift like the fronts are.  And hopefully they will be 56" that would be beautiful. :ack:
in the projects nooga, anything goes

I dont have much info, but I know that they will be designed to work with our front springs as a complete suspension package. So they will have the same amount of lift. 56" would be sweet, hopefully they will be ;)

I found a set of used springs to hold me over till you guys come up with something.  Will be ordering the fronts today though.  About those hydro lines on the steering box...plug and play???
