anyone heard of a 3" coil spacer? Every used one? what do you think? Im sure yall already know about it, but found this on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...Q5fAccessories

be honest about it!!! Thnx

 

I wouldn't use a spacer larger than 2"..

 

X2

 

Me three. No way would I run that.

 

x4....

 

I run a 2 1/2 on my dd and it is just fine. I have put 20000 on it like that. But mine is also premium RC! Lol

 

Anything over 2-2.5 is not recommended.

Why? The bumpstop tower acts as a coil spring locator/retainer.
The higher you go using spacers the closer the upper end of the coil comes to being able to pop off.

IF you have 2" spacers and want a little more, ZJ coils (Grand Cherokee)
is said to net 1" more over the stock XJ coil.

Other than that; I recommend 3" (or higher) lifted coils.

 

Make sure if you go the zj coil route, you get them from the 8 cylinder. The 6 version will be abouot the same as the xj.

 

On my 1st XJ I used V8 ZJ coils and got 1.5", and also kept my 2" spacer for a nice comfortable 3.5".

 

awesome guys!! thanks for the info.. I figured there was a reason why i was sceptical...

 

I have run a 3" coil spacer for a year and a half now with no issues....... I would'nt use one for serious off road though.

 

I have them on mine and wheel the crap out of it with no prob lol KNOCK ON WOOD

 

Do it right the first time, go with 3" lift coils
