I'm looking for a 3-inch (over stock chassis height) lift spring set that will offer a softer highway ride and give me the lift needed for taller tires. Will do kit do this? If not, can you help with a similar kit type arrangement? Thanks!
Willys Tech:
Nobody makes that. Be wary of places that say they have lift kits. They wont be right. This kit will raise you up approx. 1 to 1.5 back to stock height because your old leaf springs have lost their original arch. If you go over stock height you will have all kinds of driveline problems.

I've got a 1960 FC-150. It has the greasable pivot eye bolts. Should I go with this kit or the other CJ-5 set up that's for trucks 59-65? I'm thinking this kit, but the model year designation has me thrown off.
Willys Tech:
Typically the FC-150 with the narrow track takes the same suspension as the CJ-5.

I purchased the complete suspension overhaul kit for a CJ3B and the shackles that came with it look just like the ones pictured above, but they are a larger diameter than the springs that they attach to, Can you explain this to me, please?
Willys Tech:
They have to be pressed in. Please call us toll free. We can help you out on this and walk you thru the install.

I see this kit comes with new shackle kits but does it come with new bushings that are in the shackle mounts riveted to the frame front and rear? If not, do you sell new ones and do they come with new brackets to mount to the frame?
Willys Tech:
Yes it will come with everything shown here. All the shackles with bushings and pivot eye bolts and bushings. The hanger brackets from the frame we have separate.

is there supposed to be threads in the leaf spring just as there is in the frame mount for the shackle bolt to grab onto because mine are smooth inside
Willys Tech:
No the leaf springs themselves are smooth. The shackle bushing is threaded on the outside and bites into the metal. You torque the bushing in untill the head is flush with leaf spring then back off 1/8 of a turn.
