Not sure which WJ pump work but early 90s durango pumps work and are a good bit stronger.

 

What year camaro spring isolators give 1.5" of lift? Is it the front or the rears? I am trying to go up a little more and I think ZJ V8 coils and camaro isolators will put my front right about 2.5"

 

I too did not want to read all 60 pages lol. How's the ride with S10 bastard packs? And will a good pack make or break my wrapped main leaves? They look kinda like this ~

 

Love mine. A little stiff but I haven't had them in long.

 

S10 bastard pack , nice easy ride.

 

For the ford bronco front coils, can it be any bronco? Or just the ones with a solid front axel?

 

full size bronco - i believe all of them were SFA...

be warned - they will ride VERY rough though

 

Technically the newer ones are traction beam which look complicated. They are reported to be very stiff which means they might not flex as much. How much lift you looking for?

 

You want the 98 to 99 non plow option steering box its bolt in you use the XJ pitman arm

 

I know this might b a stupid question but on the ZJ V8 upcountry coils dose it have to b the upcountry or well any ZJ do?

 

I'd assume so. The upcountry package was an extra inch of lift.

 

Ok thank you. I did thr lift thee other day with the full s10 pack in the rear added to the xj main and then the tbird could in the front. Did anyone leave the stock xj coil isolaters on with the tbird coils? The lift turned out great. Got about 4.5" of lift in the rear and about 4" of lift in the front. She rides alot better now then stock. I left the stock xj coil isolatetoff when putting the tibrds coils on, I was thinking about puttin them back on to level it with the rear? Or maybe using some camaro coil isolaters I got from the the junkyard?

 

First off, GREAT THREAD!!! I have read thru every page. But...

I would think that after reading all 62 pages that I would find one concise list of someone's build, or at least a link, that shows everything necessary for a "lift kit." Basically I have read many of the same questions that still remain unanswered, such as front brake lines, shocks, and best flex for front coils. Dukie, you are a very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful person, and everyone here should be thankful for your posts, as well as the rest of you who have dedicated serious time to this thread.

Now, lets see if we can get some of these unanswered questions answered for the guys waiting for them (keeping in mind that it is understood that all end results will very depending on combination and condition of parts used):

1) Brake Lines: What year ranges for each different type can be used? This will help when ordering at a parts store.

2) Shocks: Which are cheapest for doing 4-5" lift with least amount of modification and most functionality? Which ones for the front and which ones for the rear (again, year range)? Which are best in everyone’s opinion for the price (budget price that is)?

3) Front Coils: Which have best flex and ride with a resulting 4-5" of lift your opinions (did I say year ranges yet)?

4) LCAs that can be used for a 4-5" lift, with year ranges, of course.

5) Various other parts: links to online parts such as u-bolts, shocks, brake lines, and any other little part you may need when doing a lift.

Keep in mind this thread is aimed at JUNK YARD builds. Needless to say you should be purchasing new brake lines, and probably new shocks. Lets just keep in mind PRICE IS AN ISSUE. I know there are many other unanswered questions in this thread, but the majority has to do with lifts, and mainly 4-5" lifts. I am just trying to help focus attention on the lift situation to help get that out of the way, and avoid reading the same questions over and over again. Thank you guys in advance!!!

and for extended rear break line, get one from a YJ. they are 2 to 3 inches longer. Plenty for you 4-5" lift.
My lift is a junkyard lift, sort of. I used the sight mentioned above, but bought new parts, like v8 Grand Cherokee Coils, ect. However, as Burninbridges mentioned above, please get new break lines, at the least. I think i spent like 17 bucks to get the YJ brake line, and was easy to install.

as for front coils, IMO, the V8 Grand Cheroke coils from a 93-96? I know 93, but don't remember what year they go up to.

 

Here's my 4.5-6" junkyard lift writeup

97 Ram 1500 rear line is about 6" longer, thats why I used.
