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?

Save $46 by choosing Rusty Springs, Rusty's works pretty fine as RE...

Rusty's coils net what they say, RE's coils net 1/2-1" more than advertised. If i had to do it again, i would take RE coils than my current 3" rusty's coils.

Where exactly do i measure to get lift hight in the front before and after i put the bumper on to see what size springs i need to get:head:

I use that plastic trim that goes parallel to the ground on the doors. I try to keep it level front to back. Some people use the fenders. You can do that but remember the rear fender is 1 or 2" lower than the front so consider that in your math. There is an exact spot to measure lift height but i can't remember off the top of my head.

too be honest im running a procomp lift with spacer, but my spacer is a 1" only, i have the AAL in the rear but it only gave me a 1and1/2" so i put a 3 inch block so all in all i have four in front four and half in rear. but it would help to know what size spacer you runn because if its only an inch you can run the 2 inch spacer and those 3 inch pro comp coils are stiff enough to make it work, so you may only be able to get buy with a bigger spacer. personally imma swapp mine out for 4.5" coils because those coil spacers pop too much while wheeling.

i have 1.75" coil spacers from daystar :help:

Does anyone know if i can get RE coils for cheaper that $175 that does not include shipping from CA to CO:head:

i need some help:help:

JeepinOutfitters.com has them for $174 free shipping.

thanks i guess they do not get any cheaper because of quality:head:

Yup, worth the pennies.
