hi there i just bought a full new set of yj springs for my sj was just wondering if any one has the template for the plates? thanks ross

if you have a 410 chassis scottie may be able to help if its a 413/samurai then you may be out of luck at the min... don't think anyone's made their own conversion for a sammy yet. there is one in the works but its not completed yet.

Oh yes there is!

I based mine around the standard template kicking about, but just adapted as I went along.

It's quite daunting when you start, but you soon slip into it and make it work to suit your individual truck.

Have a flick through the thread below. It will give you a few ideas.

Thanks for the help guys my truck is a samurai do you know if the adapter plates are the same for the front and rear

You can use the same front and rear but personally I prefer to make the front mount differently and move the spring mount 25mm further back.

Yea supose that would help on approach angles and stuff would you need to re drill the spring perch as well though

Yeah you redrill the spring perches and Ubolt plates 25mm back to push the axle forwards again.

It's how I did mine and it does help the approach angle.

thanks for your help scottie i will just need to figure out how to make the front shackle bushes further forward really don't want to go down the missing link route

I've got a design worked out for that on a samurai, just need to find the time to prototype it, it's easy on a 410.

i should be able to fabricate something up i just want to try get everything all cut out and do as much as i can while i wait on my springs ariving so I'm not taking up the garage for too long and i get my old man moaning at me again
