Yeah you can also use the front coils on
V6 Ford thunder birds and cougars
I hear that the f150 spring are super stiff
in the Cherokees, and ride like crap.
These are supposed to be a better ride

Check this out, heres a really good writeup

They are stiff, but if you have a winch bumper, like my buddy did that told me about these the added weitght balances it out. Just what I was told.

Lift Coils are nice and cheap ~$100

I would invest in some new ones and Do it right. Then you can bastard pack the rear if you want as well.

also when buying coils look into this write up:

I would tend to agree.
There's another member here in dville around the corner from me who has rc 4.5s with 2" spacers and a basstard pack rear.
Looks VERY good and with minor trimming he's clearing 38s.
But Its really just up 2 owner... ~Paul
