Upgrade your Jeep CJ with the Tuff Country 49270 Rear 2" EZ-Ride Leaf Springs. Designed for 1976–1986 Jeep CJ5 and CJ7 4WD, this rear spring kit delivers a reliable 2-inch lift paired with a smoother, quieter ride for both trail adventures and everyday driving.

  • EZ-Ride Leaf Design: Tapered, snub-rolled and pre-set to maintain a comfortable ride in a lifted positive-arch configuration. This engineered geometry helps balance load and ride quality.
  • Teflon Inserts: Integrated between leaves to improve ride characteristics and reduce squeaking for a quieter overall feel.
  • Poly Bushings Included: Comes with durable poly bushings to enhance initial bite, reduce deflection, and extend component life.
  • Includes Bushings: Bushings are included with the spring assembly, ensuring a ready-to-install kit.
  • Quantity Required: Sold individually, with a typical full installation requiring two springs.
  • Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the leaf springs, reflecting Tuff Country’s confidence in long-term performance.
  • Made in the USA: Built in the United States to the brand’s strict quality standards.
  • Vehicle Fitment: Compatible with 1976–1986 Jeep CJ5 and CJ7 4WD models, specifically as rear springs for a CJ rear suspension upgrade.

This rear lift kit is a practical and targeted upgrade for Jeep owners seeking better ride quality after lifting, without compromising durability. The combination of a 2-inch lift, EZ-Ride engineering, noise-reducing Teflon inserts, and included poly bushings translates to a more confident on- and off-road ride. With two springs installed, you’ll experience a balanced rear stance, improved load distribution, and a quieter, more comfortable drive over rough terrain.
