not sure if I am in the right place to ask this question, will try anyway.
I am starting a modification/restoration on my 1988 tintop. I want to do a spring-under retro to soften the ride with only a 2" lift. I don't really want to use a "missing link" type shackle in the retro. Also I am wondering if there is a kit that is bolt-on only without the need to lengthen the frame. I have read a bit about the OME light load springs and it seems they would be about right for me. Any input/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

I put YJs on all my cars to get the best ride. As far as a bolt on narrow springs with stock type shackles then Old Man Emu wins. I buy from Petroworks.com because they also have the KYB shocks. A perfect combo.

Is there a possibility it could be coming from the input shaft itself? It appears pretty worn.

Hello, everyone. A few months ago I bought my first Samurai. It had a whine in every gear besides 4th, so I assumed it was the input shaft bearing in the Transmission. I have since rebuilt the transmission using all Nachi bearings and I also replaced the clutch, throwout bearing, pilot bearing and all U joints as well as splitting the T-case and removing the center detent ball to prep for the Twin sticks. Now after getting it all back together the noise still exists. It's coming from the front of the transmission, So i assume it's the input bearing still. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm using MasterPro 80-90 fluid in the trans and t-case and i used assembly lube on all the bearings. One thing I noticed was the old input bearing I removed was a sealed bearing and the new one is unsealed. Is there a chance that fluid is perhaps not making it to the input bearing?

Thanks, guys
