Default Trying to ID a set of coils

Does anyone know what this number is "XJ3FCO1" I found it on the after market coils in my XJ. I am still trying to ID the name of the lift. All I know is the springs are painted machine grey.

I guess what I’m saying is there are negative rear world reviews about every brands bushings , leafs and coils with sagging/rust etc. A lot of praise about RC warranty and a lot of disgust with RE warranty and others . Bushings fail and parts will sag over time with any of them just have to take a calculated risk and make sure the company you spend your hard earned money with will uphold their end of the deal .

I've never dealt with warranties because I bought used parts for the current lift, and the old lift was purchased through an offroad shop and RC wouldn't honor the warranty because the shop bought it and not me. I wasn't the "original owner". I will tell you I've never had to try and warranty anything on my rubicon express stuff, but I have with the rough country. Also, the rough country was bought new and most of the rubicon express stuff is used.

They are most likely older and discontinued, or have been re-manufactured with a different part number.

I would imagine that the part number is actually XJ3FC01
XJ being Jeep XJ, 3 being the lift height, FC I have not idea, and 01 I could guess is the year or the revision number.

Rough country and Rubicon Express have silver coil springs, and Tuff Country is the only company I know of with machine grey. However the part number is way off.

The part number most closely resembles Skyjacker's coil springs with part number "JC30F"

You will probably need some pics / details of the other lift components for any sort of actual ID.

Pretty sure that's the part number for the coils included with the Tuff Country 3.5" lift. I have it on my Jeep.... the coils are pretty good, the leafs are almost flattened out now, but I did get it WELL used so they may be pretty decent for a while. If you have the leafs, make sure you take off the overload spring... completely kills rear articulation.

ETA: http://www.tuffcountry.com/lift-kits/jeep/cherokee/ is where the lift comes from. See http://www.tuffcountry.com/wp-conten...ions/43802.pdf - the part number on the coils is XJ3F-CL01 - so that's probably what you have.

I want a tire that is 30" tall and will fit on the stock limited wheels. I plan to do a 2" lift and want to fill the wheel well. Daily driver, will never go offroad, so I would like a good rain/snow tire that will balance easily and do 80.

Tire dimensions vary. Anything wider than a 235 stands more of a chance hitting the lca. I believe a 255 can be close to an inch wider.

Here are 235/75-15 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's on 15x7's with 4.25" backspace on my XJ with ~2" lift.




Got to go for now.

Default Dodge Charger Wheels??

I am about to pull the trigger on some nice Dodge Charger Take-offs. I have seen tons of posts and pictures where they are used. (So this must be an old issue on the forum- but I am new to Jeeps, and I could not find answer with search here).
People that have used them claim to not have any fitment issues at all, while there are a bunch of non-users that say absolutely not because of the 5x114.3 to 5x115 lug pattern.

I have seen that actual sizes are: 5x115mm = 5x4.53" , 5x114.3mm = 5x4.50" (although I cant verify)

I would appreciate any personal experience on this conversion.

Thanks Dan

No personal experience, but I know some people on Volkswagen forums use wobble lug nuts or something like that so it'll seat right. Definitely know that people do it.

2014 Dodge Charger SRT WHEEL STUD = M14-1.5 = 14mm
1994 Jeep Cherokee WHEEL STUD = 1/2"-20 = 12.7mm

They only fit because the wheel studs are larger.

Don't put those on your jeep.

The only way you could run them would be with the wobble lug nuts stated above. ($100. per set)

Edit:
After some light research I found a number of people claiming wobble lug nuts are safe.
The claim is that the wheel studs are only used for clamping force, and not used to provide torque to the wheel.

I'm still not convinced. There are plenty of aftermarket wheels out there that are safe to use.

Default 33s on 2 inch lift??

So I have a 01 XJ and it has a two inch lift and I’ve found some 33s for an extremely good price and I was wondering how 33s would fit on a 2 inch lift? I know it would be very tight or cutting but I was wondering if anyone has experience with this? I’m going to go up in lift later on but woukd it be possible now with a 33s or is it hopeless?

Unless your in desperate need for those 33's tires I would wait on getting a larger lift. It will probably fit but you will have no room for error and then will need to cut up your fenders and fold. Not a bad thing to do but I really don't know how much you would need. You could piece together a 3" lift and still cut fenders some and probably be okay. I know my rig before I went to 4.5" lift and now soon 33" tires I was sitting on 32x11.50x15 and had plenty of room but my fenders were cut and folded. I bought it like that though so not sure how much they really cut.

Your also going to need to pay attention to your back spacing on your wheels so you don't rub. Those 33's at a 12.50 width are wide and most likely rub on full lock or less on stock wheels.

You'd have to do massive cuts and probably re-weld the rear quarters
