I have a '75 J10. I am going to use it to tow my Scrambler around.
Does anyone know where I can get some replacement springs, or maybe something a little stiffer?

A little stiffer?? Wow. The stock rear springs are usually pretty stiff. Maybe locate some J2000 springs? Or possibly put together a leaf pack yourself using J2000 parts and some of your leafs?

Do you know of a place to buy them new? FSJ parts are hard to come by. It isn't going to pull a lot of weight, but I don't want it to sag. The J10 will only tow if I have to take the Scrambler for more than an hour drive.
Here is the Jeep it will tow.

There are some different length springs and different sized pivots for that year so keep your eye out for the right ones. Do you have a pic of your current leaf pack? Just so I can see how much more you need. Have you hitched up the trailer and it sags already or are you simply worried about it sagging under load?
They will be expensive to ship but I am sure Montana Overland will have some used ones.

I know Eaton spring has new leafs for an M715, which may work on your truck too. But again, it depends on the spring pivot mounts that are on your '75.

Thanks for the information. I don't have pics of the springs. The truck is in WV and I am in TN going to NADC. The truck hasn't had a trailer on it yet.

Hitch up the trailer first. I think you will be surprised at how little it will sag.
