I have it on my CJ7. I like the ride and flex with it but I wish I were a bit higher. I have also added 1/2" shackles on the front.

Overall a good kit! I use the bilstiens with it...

I haven't installed mine yet, but mine didn't have the flat sections in the spring at the axle pad areas like all the pictures show.

I don't recall if mine had the flat spots or not.


I know one thing. I like the BD 3" better than the Pro Comp 2.5" I had before. Less stiff.

Just installed it on my 81 CJ7 last weekend. It went on like a dream I think it rides better than the stock springs I took off. I need to install some 4* shims though as it does wander some so I am hoping that will increase the caster angle (3.8*) now. I will repost the results monday. Bought mine from Rocky Mountain suspension nice folks.

Cheers
Mike

I love mine. 31" SS LTB tires and still flexxes enought to touch the fender flares in front. Rides much better than the stock springs I had.
