Mercedes Springs

Post by Wes »

Just wondering if instead of using JD EB springs for my BII SAS, If anyones used Mercedes Benz G-Wagon coils? They are 23" with no weight on them. Also, whats the width of the JD EB 3.5" springs? Thanks

The Duff springs are approximately 5.5" wide.

I haven't heard of anyone that's been unhappy with the duff springs. They are proven, and they are one of the cheapest.

Why do you want to run something else?

the duffs are harder to come by up here, plus I can grab a set of the mercedes' for a bit less then the duffs would cost me after shipping etc

I didn't think about that....bummer. Are there any Early Bronco places up there? All the EB springs should perform similar.

Otherwise...let us know how the mercedes springs work!
