Application
Fits: CJ-3A (1949-1953), M38 (1950-1952), CJ-3B (1953-1964). For right-hand side front axle, 1 piece required. Works together with U-bolts (1 large + smaller U-bolts depending on position) for mounting leaf spring pack to front axle.
Installation notes
The spring plate is positioned beneath the leaf spring pack and secured with U-bolts that run around the axle tube. The plate features a pre-formed recess for the shock absorber mounting. Ensure correct side (right = passenger side).
Compatibility
Specific to CJ-3A, M38 and CJ-3B with 2" wide leaf springs. Not suitable for M38A1 (which uses different U-bolt length and plate configuration). Also not for MB/GPW or CJ-2A models without verification of spring configuration.
Historical context
The U-bolt construction with spring plates was standard on civilian CJ models and the M38 military variant. This system provided a robust yet easily maintainable suspension capable of withstanding severe terrain conditions.
