A guy on Craigslist is selling some xj 3" lift leafs for real cheap, I'm considering them to replace my AALs. He said he doesn't remember the brand and they were never used just sat in a garage for a couple years, I was wondering if you guys could help me id them. Originally I thought it could be OME because of the yellow part number but some Google searches didn't show any OME springs with that part number and the spring clamps looked different but they are a little old so maybe they could be, anyway all help would be appreciated.

OME? Can't think of many that use yellow font

Yeah that was my original hope but after some more advanced Googlefu it appears these are actually Crown YJ leaf springs, I might contact the guy selling them to check the overall length and confirm what they really are. People on Craigslist jeez

Those leafs are made by Crown Automotive and should return your rig to stock factory height. Don't waste your time.

Also looks like that part number is for a YJ wrangler... lol

Used parts on craigslist are like buying a used toothbrush not a good idea at all.

The guy claimed they were never installed, but going off the fact that all the other information he gave about them was wrong I have doubt about that too.

You can definitely tell by the arch of those springs that they are not lift springs.

Yeah I was really only looking for about 2 inches since I already have shackles and relocation brackets, plus flatter springs tend to flex better. But I think we covered that they're the wrong spring.

Sometimes you get lucky. Had $80 in my Rustys 3" full pack lift after selling extra parts that came with it. Was used then and 4 years later the leafs that I still have still ride great and are true to their lift. Just need to replace the bushings soon.

Unless the part is brand new in a box with a parts number you can look up take everything said with a grain of salt.
