Default Coil Difference
Whats the difference between a v8 ZJ front spring and a 2004 v8 WJ front spring? Is there any difference?

does anyone know what the length difference is?

now with the diameter being bigger is that the ovver all coil or that the actual metal diameter? Also would this stiffen it up?

the overall diameter of the coil itself...xj/zj coils are compatible but wj coils are not interchangeable with either as far as i've seen

because wj coils are a different diameter,therefor the coil buckets are a different size and the coil just would not fit...
