Re: JPOR: Reducing a spring pack

["Glenn" <gjshort@xxxxxxxxxx>]

    On my glass CJ-7 with a SOA I am looking at adding more springs.  I am
using 2 rear sets of  the stock heavy duty springs one set in the front and
one in the rear.  The fronts are just about straight now. But I think it
rides better then ever.
