Ouch....

 

i used just the ZJ V8 front springs (no extra spacer, jus the isolator) and the middle three springs from a 5-leaf durango pack under my XJ main leaf for a solid 2" lift all the way around and a really improved ride quality.

 

really? the three short leaves from the dakota pack only gave 2"? Hmmmm that's good news for my pack build!

 

Carquest has some HD progressive rate front springs that supposedly lift 2-2.5, I just bought some today, $85 for the pair, will have them installed Saturday along with new leafs and maybe some GM shackles depending on how level it comes out. The part number is CC784 for the springs, found the info on other forums ect trying to find out more on the ZJ springs.

 

Got the coils installed along with some autozone shackles, 2.5 all around, pics soon, didn't do the leafs cause rancho has special bushings........ they were an absolute pain to get in with out a spring compressor tho lol

 

might want to add crown vic disc brakes to the list, they will fit on a D44 if you put some tj retainer plates on. you also have to do a slight amount of grinding.

 

the three middle ones from a 5-leaf durango, left off the main, and the smallest. not the three "shortest" from a dakota, which may have been four or five anyways.

 

3. YJ Brake Lines = 3-4" longer

hey guys which ones should I pull. Are you talking about the front brake lines.

and these would go on the front brakes of my xj.

also what years are we talking about here. Thanks

hitting the jy tomorrow.

 

the xj 44 correct? if so is there a write up somewhere?

 

I herd that coil springs from a WJ will lift a xj 2" that true?
J.

 

No, WJ coils won't fit due to dimensional differences.

v8 ZJ coils are good for 1-1.5" lift on an XJ over stock

 

Im looking for a 3" lift. What options do i have? Has far has junkyard parts.
J.

 

Bastard pack in rear, zj coils and coil spacers in front.

 

What about 3" blocks in rear and zj coils with spacers up front? They are down fall in useing blocks?
J.

 

blocks are the devil. Stay away from them and lift it right. The cherokee springs are not stiff enough to prevent the axle warp cased by blocks.
