well i have to waggy leaf packs at my house. one has 5 leaves and one has 7? haha and they both came off the same axle. well if i get new uca's, i was thinking about doing an AAL in the back with waggy long leaves. i was thinking 1 or 2 leaves? or would i be better using the top leaf from my hardbody pack and then using like 5 waggy leaves under it?

Reserector just replaced the entire packs with some wag fronts in his HB and it worked very well.

It'll work, but keep in mind, Waggy leaves are 2.5" wide, and Nissan leave are 2.375" wide. Some gring of the leaves, and or modding of the U-bolt plates may be required. Center pin diameter may also be different on the waggy (easy to enlarge where needed). I added 3" lift YJ leaves to my 4" lift Yota leaves. I had to drill new center pin holes (further forward), and grind the ends so they'd fit into the retainers.

I ground a little material off of the inside edges of the u-bolts, but not the threaded part. About 1/16" off each side.

I used the top leaf from my HB pack and 5 waggy leaves below that. 6 total leaves.

If the center bolt in the waggy upper is a litle farther back than the HB upper, use it instead. You see, the waggy leaves have more arch, which shortens the distance from the front eye to the center bolt. If you run 33s like I do, they will hit the front corners of the wheel arches.

Good luck with it. I'm sure you will like the added clearance and improved ride. I will NEVER go back to stock HB springs.



It's a fine line between clever and stupid.
