My view on it is if you want rear coils by a ZJ..

For the price of the conversion you can find a used ZJ..

So here are some pics of the last time we got out to the trail. Also here is his build thread on pirate. I have some more if you want them. Hope this helps good luck with it. Just do your homework befor you get started because if you do it wrong it will suck to wheel.

Yeah it is a vary good rige! He is putting tons under it latter this year so it is only going to get better! If you do do this keep us posted on it, and if you need some help I will try and help haha but it is soo worth it to go to coils.

Mine flexes like that XJ in the rear. And front for that matter.

shackle relocation boxes, some good packs, and a longer shackle will get that. And right length shocks of course.

I'd do the coil conversion only if I did a double triangulated but with coilovers.
