the yj 2.5 went last week, so now i can play with the tj 4l
i think the front springs have sagged as there is only about 2" before it hits the bump stops. am i right?
i have ordered a 2" budget lift, but i dont want to fit it if the springs are shot

Where abouts are you ?
Think I still have the original standard springs from our TJ in the garage somewhere you could compare yours to if your local-ish to Worcester.
Memo to self, must clearout the garage this week

as gazs springs are off the truck, you need to measure yours unloaded to get a comparison

front ones are taller and smaller in diameter, the rear are shorter and bigger in diameter
that will help if you have both sets i suppose, if you havn't compare them to the ones fitted on the truck mate

Found the springs, the fronts did about 60k before being changed for OME kit.
They measure 435mm, obviously this measurement was taken not on the vehicle, spring laid flat on the floor, hope this helps
