Default 7.5in coil springs questions...

i found some on CL for $75... probly would take less... thing is he says there for a ZJ but hes got all kinds of mixed parts... what would these net for a XJ? im piecing together a lift for 6.5 so these my be large then what i want but is it possible to cut them down alittle or something... i think i could get away with buying everything else for a 6.5in lift like control arms and such but what do yall think? thanks for the info!

oh yeah... hes also got 20' of dom .25in thick for control arms for $30... think this would be thick enough? plannin to run 35's and remember mines chopped top and gutted so it weighs next to nothing...

Tubing is more than strong enough.

That is an exceptional deal, you won't see that again.

got the springs for $75... i wanted the pipe for the control arms and the square tube for the crossmember but someone got that 2 days before i got up there dang it... and the night before someone got the D60 for $150... hes still got the wheels and D44... but then my truck broke down 1.5hrs away in his work parking lot and had to call my buddy with his gooseneck to drive all the way and get me... Its my injection pump on my 03 cummins... $850 for a rebuilt one... sucks...

you should not cut springs or heat them, buy the ones you need.

example if you cut an 190lb spring in half your left with 380lb spring
