leaf spring questions

[wht01stroke]

I have a 80 cj7 with the following mods;
454 big block chevy
turbo 400 trans w-np205 transfer case
1 ton axles front and rear
crossover steering and all the other usual offroad mods, my question is what front leaf springs will work on here and still hold the weight up! I have the 3.5inch xj rear springs on it with the rear stretch kit and it currently has yj 4inch front springs but they dearch when the weight of the vehicle is on them! Any suggestions would be great

I don't see why Chevy springs wouldn't work.

Put the heavy duty rear cj springs up front. I think they are 7 leafs.

Yep if your set on leaves I'd try a gm spring, you may have to add a leaf or two but they should handle it much better.
