Front to Back Spring swap for 3" lift?
 
Just bought a 93 Zj 4.0 and what Jeep owner shouldnt be lifting it immediately? So as I start my never ending build I came across an article about using 2" spacers and doing a spring swap. Any input? good idea/bad idea?

My buddy did the spring swap and it rode nice. Het try to get full springs for the front before the spacers

basically what ive come up with is....
1. Purchase ZJ front coils.
2. Put those on the rear.
3. Purchase 8 ZJ/XJ isolator spacers
4. Pull front springs out and install 4 isolators on each side to have 5 total.

And thats it? I read this from another forum and alot of ZJ owners swore by it for a budget lift...no one mentioned moving trac bar or redrilling or brackets?

Definately do track bar. And by isolaters wut do u meen. The 3/4 inch rubber spacers?

yes the spacers.

Instead of gettin a bunch of those little ones might as well get the 2 inch or 3 inch poly spacers

That's what I thought of doing...made more sense. I need more info on the track bar and I think ill start this project.

For track bar id say look into an adjustable one. Just when lookin for one try to stay away from the tie rod end style. Once lifted those track bars wear out fast
