ATTN Suzuki Samurai guys.... Need some dimensions

[stomperxj]

Hi Zuk guys - I need some dimensions of Samurai leaf springs. I am planning on using some OME replacement springs for a Sammy on my next trailer build and need the eye to eye dimension and the overall height of the spring so I can put them into my solid model. None of the local yards have a sammy in stock right now. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen one locally in the yards...

I appreciate the help-

Jess

OME or OEM? Just an idea, but if you plan to use OME as you state, have you tried contacting ARB USA for the dimensions you need?

OME springs.... I haven't contacted ARB directly. I talked with someone at Sierra Expeditions about the springs and figured out which ones I need but the dimensions are still a mystery....

*edit* I just emailed ARB and got an autoreply that they are busy and a reply from them "may be delayed"....

try rocky-road.com. they sell OME.

Are you using front or rear springs? They are different lengths......

I am assuming the springs I am looking at are rears. OME part # CS012FA

Found a frame dimension chart with all the specs for straightening a Sami frame on a rack.

Dimensions are from center to center of the mounting holes on the frame.

Front = 35.5 inches
Rear = 38.4 inches

I'll try and measure my spare (stock) springs for eye to eye this eve....

I only have spare rear springs which are 38.5" center to center sitting on the floor, no load....
