Ordered them from a company called midland road springs. They have a two inch increase in camber over standard springs and were very well priced and only took about a week from order to delivery.

You may need an angle grinder and some new bolts, so may be worth checking availability before starting the job
They are 100mm x 12mm.

Hopefully it won't be an issue my u bolts are in fairly good nick as I've had my axles off a few times while I've owned the truck.

Re: new springs :-D
I'm referring to the ones going through the bush, as these can often seize onto the sleeve.

Re: new springs :-D
It's the spring mounts. The rubber bush has a steel sleeve in it which rusts to the bolt.

Re: new springs :-D
I had the same problem with the spring mount bolts rusting together with the sleeve, right pain a I didn't have any electric where the zuk was so had to hacksaw them off, was pretty lucky with the fronts though.
Glad you didn't buy them from japanese4x4spares, they're crap :/
Will be good to see some pics when you are done

Re: new springs :-D
So started the sj rebuild/rejuvenation today. Here's how she looked before starting.
Have made spring over axle perches to weld on so i can go back to standard length shackles but keep the same amount of lift for my 31's. Also considering making front shackle reverse does anyone have any photo's of a samurai with shackle reverse kit fitted?
Picture of new rear MRS +2" spring vs old pro comp +2" rear spring. And also 2 broken u-bolts.... b*!!*cks. Think I must have cursed myself the other day d'oh.
Does anyone know a place to get reasonably priced u-bolts at short notice?
