I know you got your panties up in a bunch but you can drop them down now.

My intent was to pass on that it's not simply a remove and replace as some people have stated. With later models I'm sure it's easier.

But once again, the 'girls club' got all excited. We all don't have garages, welding kits etc. I did find a link if you'll read the last post prior to you getting all annoyed. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/z...w-pics-289719/ .
Only person I ever see get all pissy is you champ. Over and over you win the butthurt award. I even qouted you saying it was "impossible" but you still stand by the fact that you didnt. Seems like you got panties stuck up yer hole along with your head......

Looks like the stock cross member with a plate welded to it.

Can someone please tell me if there is a difference in the front coils coming out of a zj from the v8 and the v6? will the v6 still give me that 1-1.5'' lift on my 91 xj? or are they not as stiff..

I put the NAPA replacement grand cherokee upcountry coils: NCP 2775360
and got about 1 1/2 inches. They are stiffer, but the guy who drove my cherokee to the house before I ripped it apart said it handled well. Probably a good match for a after market bumper and/or winch.

I personally wouldnt use GC coils unless i got them for dirt cheap.. Coil springs are pretty cheap.

Thanks! I'll have to keep lookin then. V6s arent nearly as hard to come by in the scrap yard.. well at least in my fathers.

Is it a direct replacement of the stock cross member or a add on?

Add on. TC skids attach to the stock crossmember and unibody.

Does anyone know specifically which years the dodge vans break lines work for us? Im guessing its the late 80s through most of the nineties but thought id check to see if anyone knew off the top of their head.
