Just wanted to pick your brains in options for front replacement springs on a 46 VEC. I have 8 spring packs in there now and multiple cracked springs. It's funny because the rears look great almost as if they have been replaced at some point. Just looking for stock replacements height wise. What's out there that's worth the money?

Lot of good reports on the springs from Walcks. Seems I have read somewhere that they have them made rather than sell the imports.

If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

That's good to know oldpappy, cuz I won a $50 gift certificate at the reunion, just before mother nature blew the roof off the party. Thanks

Andy, did you get fronts and rears ? Now that I did the front two, I am thinking I should do the rears as well. They don't look to be too saggy, but matching the fronts is probably a good thing. They look to be well made. But my front end is riding a little higher than the back.
