how much lift would 5.5" TJ coil springs give my XJ?

 

you are talking about the front springs, right?

IIRC they are something like 3 inches higher than the XJ springs, so 5.5 would, in theory, net 8.5 inches. I might be wrong about the length though...

 

so are the TJ springs stiffer than an XJ? OEM TJ springs net 3" ?

 

I thought tj front coils lower a xj or zj 1 1/2 inches

 

TJ coils will make our XJ's 1 inch lower and ZJ coils (V8) will lift by 1 inch.

 

so sounds like if the spring rate is the same they will net you 4.5 inches im almost positive they lower the cherokee an inch at stock length to yeah good find on a 4.5 inch lift get you some adj arms track bar shocks and rear springs and you will be good to go

 

See, I knew I was wrong, haha.

used parts.

 

i've actually found that a ZJ V8 coil spring setup doesn't really lift even an inch... on a bone stock XJ maybe but not one with an aftmrkt bumper on it they don't.. they more make for a little stiffer ride... but not much lift...
good swap to do though if some one is doing a backayrd budget lift lol

 

i have ZJ V8 upcountry coils with a 2.5" puck and i am sitting close to 4" in the front end.

 

is the picture of the black xj in your photos the jeep with 4"?

 

The upcountry had a bit of a lift from the factory...

 

yeah on 31's

 

So in theory 3'' tj coil springs would lift a xj 2ish inches? I have some laying around but dont really know how big they are I was just told there were tj 3'' lift springs.

 

i know its an old thread but wth, i have a 87 xj with 2" coil spacers up front, my buddy is giving me 2.5" lift springs off his 98 tj... so according to your info i should have about a 3.5-4" lift after all is said and done correct?
