When you put her back together, try adding a main leaf from another YJ pack to the pack you'll be running. It should strength it up so that the leaves don't want to bend like that. That or stop trying to be a baha buggy

The last pic w/ me beside it is w/ the new leaves under it. I believe they are the OME 2.5" lift springs. They put me another 3.5" taller than i was w/ the stock YJ leaves. It wasn't the springs fault it bent, it was the tree it hit at about 20 mph fault. Right now it's sitting awaiting a few more upgrades hopefully by the end of this month...
Another thing you may want to consider is late 80's early 90's F150 leaves or even '91-'01 Explorer/Ranger leaves if those poop out on you as well... they're a lot flexier than you'd think and cheap as hell to come by. I know a couple leaf sprung Jeep guys who used them and loved them with their swapped Ford 8.8's

By the way nice to see you around again... lol
Thanks man! I've honestly looked at a couple setups here and there... I just went with these springs because I got them for close to nothing and local. (JB thanks for you and your friends help as well!) I'm running these till I get bored again with it then i'm gonna go ahead and bite the bullet and link it. Actually looking into doing that now, just need to figure out what I exactly wanna do.
I've been around man, more of a lurker though. Now having just moved and w/ a 8 month old (I have full custody of) things have been kinda kicking my ass lately. Priorities changed and what was important is now pushed to the side. LOL!
