I just tried to put that kids post (i'm really really hoping thats just a kid) in a word document and do spell check. The spell check gave me this error message:

"Error, you appear to be typing in a language known as "dumber than a box of rocks" we do not understand "dumber than a box of rocks".

Yep...keep telling every kid "you can be president"...yep...just keep telling them that. IMO most of the really amazing things are done right after someone tells the person "it can't be done", not the other way around.

I hear the 150 coils are super stiff.iam hoping the Tbird couls are a little easier on the kidneys
The tbird coils are nice, they came with 3 different spring rates depending on the year and the model. Do some research to find out which one you want, I went with the softest springs. You reuse the top plate from the coilover but I heard if you flip it upside down you will get about 3.5" instead of the 5.5" I ended up with.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Making fun of his typing and spelling skills. You know you can't tell him he is incorrect...it will effect his self esteem and injure him socially and mentally for the rest of his life.
Just tell him what a good job he is doing so he stays happy.

Plus if he like typing like that he has a right to push this new way of spelling onto all of us and we should not only accept it but conform and adapt to it as well.

That's enough, guys. This had stopped a couple days ago and didn't need to be restarted.

If anyone didnt understand that, they are never going to..lol. YIKERS.


But, back on topic:


Im thinking about putting a small lift on my jeep and have found several threads about what will fit and work on my jeep (93 cherokee) but many of these posts are old.

Is the current "cheap" set-up/bastard pack/lift... to use dakota springs to make a new pack with my springs and then JZ COILS in the front? I also see F-150 coils work, but they are stiffer than a senior on prom night.

Do i need to change anything else, if i did just the dakota/xj Springs and JZ or F-150 coils in front? If im only doing 2-3 inches, do i need a slip yoke? longer break lines? suspention "stuff"?

Im only looking for inexpensive options that i dont need a bunch of special tools to do. Mostly still working on the body and paint now, but trying to plan ahead.


Thanks guys.

Is it possible to use an ax-15 from a Dakota v6 that was 2wd and convert tail housing for 4wd? Friend of mine has one just sitting at his house.

the bellhousing is different, and splines might not be the same depending on the engine it was behind.
