CUCV rear springs - double military wrap?

[jopickens]

Do the rear CUCV springs have a double military wrap like the front CUCV springs?

Thanks,

No

Anyone know of a 2-1/2" by ~56" spring that IS military style double wrapped? I.e. 2 main leafs...
Thanks
Josh

Why are you asking ? You want double wrapped or you have a set and want to know what it is for ?

 

[jopickens]

No I would like a set of double wrapped springs in the ~56" range.

I have a set of CUCV front 52" double wrapped springs.

You can have them made if you want them bad enough. Is this for the Dodge or GM?

 

[jopickens]

It's technically for a new Dodge'ish crawler project. I run 52" rear dodge springs on all four corners of my current Ramcharger.

You will have to have them made. I do not know of a set that you are looking that are military per day.

It looks like ARB / OME make some stuff that might work. CS055R might be doable.

I got deep in to leaf springs when I had to figure out a replacement for broken car springs that were on a home built trailer I bought. They turned out to be Dodge, and I found a set of heavier M885/M886 NOS rear springs on craigslist.

Thanks - I figured some aftermarket folks made 'em. Wanted OEM CUCV to try and keep 'em cheap. haha Lots of folks pull em to put lift springs on blah blah
I don't want them to have much, if any, 'lift' to them... flatter the better (when loaded) for my application.
I might try to start using the front chevy CUCV springs on my Ramcharger to have the peace of mind that the double wrap gives you.
Flexing them so much - it's inevitable I'll eventually start breaking springs etc.
