So I am planning on doing a lift on my Cherokee, going to go the s10 bastard pack, f150 coils. I have heard any year of s10 leaves will work, what year f150 coils should I be looking for? I am also going to get jk rubicon shocks and then brake lines from a yj. Is there anything else I should look for or need?

 

You do realize the F-150 coils will ride terrible compared to the factory springs.Have you considered the ZJ V-8 springs or even buying used ones?

 

I am with David on this one, ditch the F150 idea and get some 5.2l ZJ ones or just find some cheap ones online.

I didn't consider them because I wasn't sure how much of a lift I could get from them. I saw on one of the threads that you can get 3-4 inches of lift off of the s10 bastard pack, and only like 1.5 inches off the ZJ springs. Will the ZJ springs provide around 3-4 inches of lift?

 

ZJ coils will give you about 1.5-2" lift. If I were you, I'd stick with your current plan, with one change:

S10/XJ bastard pack
YJ brake lines
JK shocks
3" lift coils off the Internet- the front coils can be had on eBay or lift sites for only ~$90-150


That way you're not riding really rough, and you'll be even front and rear.

EDIT: Here's some on rustys- if you figure you'd pay 20$ at the junkyard, why not spend $80 and get a set specifically for the XJ. Just my 2 cents. I understand being on a budget, I'm 16 and mow lawns for my mods, but you'll be happier and have a better riding jeep.

Thanks Daltonamorph, i hadnt considered looking for front coil springs and that does sound like a better way to go

 

No problem man, Just figured leaves are pretty expensive so buying them from the JY is a significant savings. Coils are fairly cheap- let us know what you decide to do

 

You should use the zj coils and build spacers. Just put the s10 leafs on first then see how much lift u got on the rear. If it raised the rear 3.5 in and the zj coils give u 1.5 in then u need a 2 in spacer in the front.

 

If he already had the ZJ coils I'd agree, but but you gotta figure $20-30 at the JY for the coils + $50 for spacers. That's most of the way to new coils- that's just my thought process.

 

Does anyone have an idea of where I could get the jk rubicon shocks?

 

They're all over eBay for cheap. Or look on CL- save you the shipping.
