ok so my goal is to have a 8'' lift but i cant go and drop 1200 bucks like that soooo ... i have taken 2 stock springs and clamped them together so now they are twice the length . next ill cut one of them down enough for a 8" lift my question is would that even pass inspection and is it safe . by no means do i think they would come apart i used those spring boosters in reverse and each spring has 3 of them it is a rock solid setup i just wanted your opinion here is a pic .. it is on the ground

 

that is no good my friend........ that = death trap

 

do you know where i can find some really cheap 8" lift springs .. and now do you think 2" lift shackles mixed with 3" bastard leafs and 3" lift blocks is a bad idea

 

im not a fan of blocks but i can get you by for now. im running a 6in bastard pack with 2in shackles. gets me by lol. as for springs have you checked ebay? or you could go with 6in springs with 2in poly spacer. thats what im running up front..

 

that is extremely unsafe, and i doubt it would pass any kind of visual inspection.


better off waiting till you have money.

 

what do you plan to do about control arms with 8" of lift, the stock ones wont work

 

As an engineer, clamping springs together is a REALLY bad idea. There is a possibility of clamp failure, not to mention very unpredictable handling due to a non-constant spring rate. And don't even think of welding!!

 

what make up a 6" bastard pack might i ask and how stiff is it

 

that is one of the dumbest things I've seen in a long time, yeah, do it, but before you hit your first pothole yell out "hold my beer and watch this" while someone is filming it so it can go on you tube to teach others.

 

i plan on running the stock control arms with drop brackets

 

I would never try what your purposing I'm no safety nut but that is scary. Just so you know I'm a backwoods red neck and even I don't approve. "Here's your sine"

 

Atleast you were thinkin outside the box.

DO NOT drive your Jeep with that coil setup! Not being mean, just would rather see your thread progress than an obituary.

 

i can hold my beer just fine thank you . plus i did make a thread asking what you guys thought before i went and did it .. i just get over creative some times

 

6" arms and drop brackits yes. Stock ones maybe if you plain on a 4" lift. Just in case you don't know if your arms are to short the lift is pointless!! When your arms are to short it pushes your axle back and =s out what you already have.

 

part s10 pack part durango pack and its stiff as hell! lol
