XJ lift
Quick question right now i have 4.5" in the rear so the rear sits higher than the front. the front has 3" pro comp springs with a spacer. i am installing an ARB bumper and a M8000 winch i think the front will really sag then. Is it ok to just install longer coil springs to make it even all around with the bumper on. I dont have the money to buy a whole new lift kit.
So i guess my question is is it ok to just install longer springs or will this mess up every thing? Thanks:thumbsup: |
i would install longer springs. are you going to be taking the winch or bumper off after you install them? it all depends on what you wanna do with it.
|
The longer springs will make your front wheels a little closer to the rear of the front wheel openings. My lift was 4.5 and I installed a 1.5 BB and that is all that happened to mine. It rides and flexes great otherwise.
|
i think you'd be able to to just install some longer coils.
|
I added a 1 3/4" spacer to my 4.5" coils. If you just got a taller lift/longer coil it would amke the same result as I had.
|
Thanks guys but im dont have the bumper or winch on yet but i am thinking it will make the jeep lower in the front. trying to see if i can just install new springs to make a 4.5" lift all around when the bumper is on?:head:
|
swapp your coils out or add a bigger budget booster like a two inch, but you gotta do lower adjustable control arms, unless you trim your fenders becasue it will pussh your axle back.
|
I have my fenders trimmed too fit 33's when i get them so do you tthink the non ajus ones would work?
|
go with 4.5" coils to even it out. it'll settle with all that extra weight, might sag a tiny bit depending on the strength of the coils.
|
Thanks guys thats what i will do:thumbsup::thumbsup:
|
I would install the bumper and winch first and then measure to see how much height you really need.
|
Thats a good idea
|
Yep mud that's a heck of an idea..Then you can make sure you get the proper coils and if need be a 3/4" spacer to help a bit..
|
and then I'll buy your old coils! how much you want for them? :p
|
Hey i found rustys springs for $129
And RE for $175 do you think there is a major difference between the two or would it not be smart to go the cheaper route rustys? |
