So, are YJ front and rear leaf springs all the same length? I have read that only the amount of leafs will change...
Also, are YJs called that in Aus, or do they have a name like Wrangler or something?

IMHO YJ's are YJ's as I don't believe they were ever actually released here.

I think you might be able to get YJ springs new from ARB. But If you are thinking of doing what I think you might be...I think there might be easier options out there. Look at Hilux, I was even looking at some XJ rears the other day. But I think they might be a little wide at 2.5" or 63.5mm. They are long as well....
This thread has a bit of info:

Yeah I was thinking of Hilux fronts, but apparently they are too stiff...

XJ rears are the same width as the YJ's-2.5"
What are you planning to do?

I just want a nice flexy rear for the LWB Sierra ute I am building up, preferably using springs that are cheap, easy to replace and 50mm wide (although going to 65mm isn't too much drama).
A mate has offered me some Carona ones, which might do the job - narrow, long and flexy.

yj springs are not quite the same length front to rear by memory rears are slightly longer
and have maybe one extra leaf... i have them in front of a zook and they work
really well. check out some states sites for heaps of info common as over there

There is a small handfull of YJ's in aus as private imports. But you can buy YJ springs through ARB (OME) and through Wooders ( Rubicon Express)
I have Rubicon Express 4.5" lift YJ springs on my CJ and love them great ride and flex
