I want some 2 foot coils! Just kidding. I would go with the 2 in coils. Thats what I have on my 84. They are actually V8 Grand Cherokee front coils that give 2 to 3 in of lift. A bit stiffer than stock though, cause of their V8 weight handling capability.

What's the point in bashing people? It's really uncalled for and brings the whole atmosphere of the forum down.

Agreed.

And coils. Any higher than 3" and add a spacer, too much spring rides bad and tilts the body.

it's not the spring... it's the angle of the control arm that causes the harshness. throw long arms on it.

You off your meds again? I warned you a few days ago to watch your step.. it took you just a matter of days to follow this guy around the forum slinging insults.


I also warned you i had enough of your constant drama.. and your days here are numbered, because you cant bite your tongue and insist on insults and bashing members.

I warned you i was gonna take your posting privledge with me when i resign here.. keep it up. You may be leaving before me...

LAST warning...

If you use both then you'll have 26in of lift.That would be awesome.LOL.I would use the coils and spacers.Wait a minute,I did and love it.5in is better than 2 or 3in.
