Hey all,

I recently collapsed a spring running on a oil service road a little faster than I should had been. I'm looking to preferably pick up a single 86 spring on the cheap but am willing to deviate to a 85 or 87.

Shipping would be to 43103 or 45469; which ever is cheapest for you.

Cheers,
Wallace

I'm just curious, if the one failed would you not want to replace the other as well? Would seem if one failed, the mate might ght not be far behind.

Fair question. Normally I would replace it as a pair however there are a few factors holding me back.
1) The event when the right spring collapsed was quite obvious and isolated to the right side; 3 back to back deep pot holes at 40+ mph

2) I don't offroad much since I've moved off the farm into the city.

3) The left side has shown no symptoms of fatigue or softness.

4) Being in college I'm as financially cautious as possible. If this was a safety part I would replace it in a second but for the above reasons I am choosing not to until prompted otherwise.
