So I remember before noticing that your rear looked like it was doing most of the work when flexing. Was it just the picture or did you adjust something? I'm thinking of doing something similar. Do you think zj or wj rear coils would be more suitable?

The rear still flexes a little quicker than the front. But not to bad now. I expect it to be much better when I do the 3 link up front.


Any kind of coil can work. Just depends on the weight you have and the ride height you want

well, you can run them under the floor, but you would have to run a shorter shock.

i run a 14" travel shock in the back so i needed the clearance to get the full travel out of them
