Atlas or stickies? which first?I got these from Rent N’ Roll.
I’m sold and will certainly be buying a set. The difference is night and day. Mind blowing. I had a good friend let me borrow them. It was worth it.

I agree with your opinion.He only broke the tcase cause a leafs spring broke and sent the axle back. Trying to talk him into linking the front since he's done this twice.
Looks familiar but I never cracked the case like that...
That sucks. It seems like you either need some military wrap leaf springs or go all out and link it. Or just fix it and sell it, LOL.
Was this the same spring that broke last time, or did the other side break last time?
He could fab up the shackle hanger so it limited the back travel of the shackle. OrThat sucks. It seems like you either need some military wrap leaf springs or go all out and link it. Or just fix it and sell it, LOL.

Fab something up that keeps the shackle from rotating so far back. Like when people mount Cherokee springs to the front crossmember and the shackles hit the front “bumper” when they come backwards.Last time was just the center pin on the opposite side. This was the first time I’ve ever broken a spring.
Since I already have a spring and have found a T case for cheap I’ll probably get it back together like it’s been for a bit but I’m strongly considering 3 linking it next year. Really I thought I’d have already done it, but I get paid commission and the last few months have been awful for me with COVID. I’m in no hurry to fix it and it’s probably gonna sit for a while anyway. I’m gonna take a break and stop spending.
Unless you changed it up that main leaf was from an aftermarket lift leaf set. It was thicker & longer than a stock waggy main leaf.I acquired a transfer case last week. Gonna take the SYE and stuff out of mine and put in this cause, replace the broken main leaf, shorten the front drive shaft 2” and keep wheeling. Not sure when I’ll start, really have no motivation right now and doing it all with hand tools brings the suck, but I need to get on it before it gets too cold.
I really, really wanna 3 link the front with coil overs next year, but I also need tires, and gonna have to pick one or the other.
I’m also making literally half of what I was this time last year thanks to COVID, so there’s that.
Remember I had drilled out the frame side mount further back cause these were longer than the stock waggy springs. If you use the stock one I gave you you’ll probably need to use the stock hole on the frame side mount.I have changed anything. The other main leaf I have is what came with the Jeep when I got it from you. I’ve just assumed it was the same length?

Maybe skip the coilovers for JK coils and reuse current shocks.I acquired a transfer case last week.

I would think it might ride pretty rough though unless I went with some nice dual rate coils and good shocks.
I can grantee you jk springs and cheap white body shocks will ride 10x better than leafsprings.....
Do you happen to have the spring measurements?
Offset pin?.and I assume 2.5 wide? I'll do some lurking, I used to have a list of spring in the general size of a yj.I believe they’re 48” eye to eye
