Incorrect amigo! Not "all" Waggy springs are offset..wbcarver has 2 sitting at his shop with centered pin front leafs ('74 & later '7x). He pulled a set from a '73(?) that were offset...47" eye-2-eye & 21"/26" eye-2-pin...

Got the springs in the jeep, I will have to take some pics soon. Right now I am at 100" wheelbase and the rear tires are flush with the rear of the body. Now I just need find another set for the front of the jeep to move the front forward some.
The only issue I have right now is that the waggy springs are extending out past the bumper more than my superlift springs. So I have to adjust my buggy leaf further out.

No it's not mine .
It belongs to one of the club members out here.
He mounted the YJ springs SPOA with shackles both front and rear of the spring on a 1/2 eliptical rear drop bolted to the frame. Then he put a set of long arm link bars to stabilize the axle. These are mounted in the front by welding the link bar to a pipe then running a solid steel rod through the pipe and attaching it to the frame and it has a rock slider from frame to catch the other end and it is attached there as well.
This allows the bar to move up and down with the rear end as it articulates. I will try to get some close up shots next time I see him.
Thi picture was taken at the AZ Rock Crawling Championships. I just happened to be judging this gate and got a lot of good shots of the competitors
