This Dorman front suspension leaf spring carries the weight of the vehicle and its payload and sets the ride height at the axle. It fits the 1969-1973 Jeep Commando and 1969-1971 Jeep Jeepster. Key details: 605 lb load rate, PD/5 leaves, 5-leaf pack and 2 in leaf width. It cross-references 2 OE numbers from Chrysler, including 992125 and 992254.
Springs work constantly and fatigue with age, load and corrosion. A replacement returns the original ride height and support, and matching both sides of the axle keeps handling predictable. The package contains: 1 Leaf Spring. Mounting hardware is not included, so plan to reuse or source the original fasteners.
