jeep springs
I have a '61 short step side with jeep springs. How much weight should it be able to carry?

Re: jeep springs
Not much. I have a pair on my 60 looks great rides nice ,but I cant carry much. There is no way I could load my bike ( about 550llbs) on it with out fear of bottoming out on bad roads.
Funny that you posted this since I just purchased some lowweing springs from Summit to " fix" this problem

Re: jeep springs
i have cut grand Cherokee springs in the rear of my 66. thinking they would be a little more heavy duty than the jeeps. but its about the same. bottomed out my truck at lowes with some bags of rocks. had to put some in the cab on the floor
but it rides nice
