Are the ZJ front and rear springs the same? are the WJ front and rear springs the same? How are the WJ and ZJ springs different? Thank abunch you guys!

 

Can't speak for the WJ BUT if you put the front coils of a ZJ in the rear of it and you get a 3.5" lift. Do a search on "Front Rear Swap" if you need more info about it or just ask. A buddy of mine just did this to his ZJ.

Basically ordered 3.5" lift coils for the front, after market track bars and shocks. About 1 month after he's started buying replacement control arms. But the stockers did work.

 

So the rears are small then... i was basically trying to figure out if i ran ZJ rear coils in the front of the XJ what would happen... but from what your saying it would lower it...lol... i know V8 ZJ coild lift a XJ's front but im just looking at options basically... wonder bout the WJ's and how there different now... THanks!

 

WJ coils won't fit on a Z/XJ. V8 ZJ coils are really no different then 6cyl. ZJ coils,the 4.0 weighs very close to the 5.2.

Also,i know that a lift coil for an XJ will lift a ZJ about 1.5" less than the XJ so i would think that stock ZJ coils would slightly lift an XJ

 

Stock front ZJ coils will lift a XJ.

 

yeah they say the V8 ZJ coils and if u get the bushings with them that itll give you about 4 inches in the front of a XJ... Thats what everyone says anyway... just didnt know about the backs if they were longer or shorter... but im good on that now... ust didnt know bout a WJ now... guess no huh?

 

dont know if this helps but my stock xj coils lifted my buddies rear zj about 2 inches

 

it would lower it, those puppys are small

 

i had a ZJ and stuck a 3.5in lift under it myself but i couldnt remember how they looked... its been a minute... i guess the WJ coils are way different probly since nobody seems to know for sure... lol

 

i was at the jy this weekend and wj springs are way shorter. i just glanced at them but they look to be a smaller diameter as well.....

 

cool thanks man! wait... u got a WJ in the jy? that must be nice... i read somewhere there steering will bolt up in a XJ and is waaaayyy better...

 

yeah have a few wjs in the jy i go to.

ive heard of the steering swap but you have to run a spacer for the wheel bearings to work. wjs use a high steer style knuckle on the pass side. the steering wont work with your stock knuckles

 

doesnt sound to hard to do i wouldnt think...

 

I answered you for sure in my above post,the WJ coils will not fit on an XJ.

And the steering swap is not "bolt up",it requires a fair bit of work.

 

yep u sure did... forgot u said that i guess... i know the steering isnt just a direct bolt in but shouldnt be that i hard i dont think... one day if ever decide to do it ill read up on it but i havent seen a WJ in the jy yet so i havent put to much thought in it or searched/read up on it yet...
