Ok, who here has actually done the front to rear swap? I have been told that it makes it ride very rough, does anyone know if this is from the cheap shocks that come with it, or cause of the higher spring rate? I really want to get it lifted, but dont want a super harsh ride.

 

I did. I'm at ~5.5" right now because I added my BB.

The ride quality is going to be affected more by the quality of the shock that you use, and what kind of CA's you use. If you use garbage shocks, and keep the stock CA's, then you're ride quality is definitely going to be affected.

I really think that mine right now rides better than it did stock. I invested in Bilstein's and I've got new adj CA's all around.

 

This is what I was looking for, I seen a few "kits" for sale, but they always had no name shocks on them. I was assuming this was causing most of the ride complaints I have read about. Any more input on this?

And blackjack, do you have 4.0, or 5.2?

 

when i did my buddys, we used front v8 coils in the front with a spacer and the front coils went to the rear.
then we swapped out the v8 coils for the rear and put in a set of rubicon express 4.5 inch coils up front.

ditched the rear sway bar and used skyjacker hydro shocks.
flexed great and the v8 coils helped to stiffen up the rear for highway/dd driving.

 

I have the 5.2.
