Are parabolic springs the same front and back?

Post by sidsuzuki2346 » Wed Apr 01, 2015 11:14 am

Earlier this year I bought some parabolic leaf springs for my sj 410 (second hand), I was told they were rear leaf springs but they weren't they were front ones with the helpers given to me separately. Are they the same, can I just bolt the helpers on and use them as rears?

Rears are longer. So no. Sorry.
