Grabbers didn't get stiffer springs until '75 which was also the last year they were made. A four-leaf JC Whitney spring set will be 5 times better than the stock 3-leaf setup regardless of the rating...
: JC Whitney lists a generic spring codes. Standard or heavy duty. there is about 5 different spring rates. Go to a spring shop and get a good rating on your spring and then move up from there. Most factory Maverick springs are either 85 for regular and 115 for Grabbers and 4dr. get a little better then the 115 and you be all right.
: : In the past several people have commented on the JC Whitney rear leaf springs for the mav. For those of you that have used these springs...what do you think? Also, did you use the three leaf (standard) or four leaf (heavy duty)? I don't want the car to sit to high in the rear just need to eliminate the sagging rear problem.
