Hey guys,
Alright so i got a 94 jeep cherokee country 4x4 lifted 3 inches to clear 31s i got a 6inch lift but its full coils. Can anyone help me out and tell me how to add coils in the rear. Because i cant figure out how to build the brackets and shock mounts. For the rear.

Did you get a XJ specific kit? What brand lift kit? If someone is selling a conversion kit then they should sell weld-on brackets as well.
In order to run coils in the rear you will have to do some fabrication...make that a lot of fabrication. Check this http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/su...-out-coils-in/

What lift kit is it? Made for XJ? Maybe the kit you got was for a Grand Cherokee...

Bet your right for a full coil lift, or one heck of a nice XJ setup.

Must not be so urgent after all since he hasn't responded.

I was going to point that out as well. Love it when "ASAP" is in the title, then user logs off immediately afterward.

The lift i have is feom a tj and front lines right up i just need to get the rear end figured out. I needa either find or buy brackets. Any ideas.

A leaf spring to coil spring suspension is going to be a bit more than finding or buying brackets...

Buy some leafs, build a bastard pack or something designed for the XJ. If you're asking this question you really aren't ready for this conversion. A link was already provided on how it can be done.

You have a kit for a completely different rig...not a show stopper, UNLESS you don't have the skills or means to make it work...my guess is you don't have either or you wouldn't be asking this question...

To make the rear work is going to take some fab skills, and the tooling to boot.

My suggestion to you? Get a kit that fits your needs. Coils in the rear takes some major modification on an XJ. Yes it can be done. No, it isn't bolt on.

Brackets CAN be made. I do it everyday. But you need the tools and skills to make it happen. You may be able to find pre-cut brackets, but you need to do some legwork...you're trying to make a kit not designed for your use, work on your rig.
Um, okay. You're the one who said ASAP, not us...

One other thing...you're taking a big jump in lift...what else are you doing to contend with the changes you're wanting to make? SYE? Gears? Tires?

Also, wouldnt TJ coils havent different spring rates???? So, a 6 inch lift on a TJ may end up only lifting an XJ 3 or 4 inches im thinking.... Seems to me that a heavier XJ would not lift as much as a TJ with the same springs...

jay_sco

Yes, lots of ideas in the link I posted. Yes, brackets, that's part of it.

Then why such the rush? You got replies ASAP and tell people to relax. That's one way for people to ignore future requests of help from you.

Good luck with your TJ setup, maybe talk to the guy that wanted to bolt his XJ to an Explorer frame. Between the both of you I'm sure something can get figured out.

Hell over 50 yrs ago I had ideas like that only with race cars that didn't work so well either.
