hey dudes, i picked up on a pair of 3" fabtech lift coils for free from my friends house, i was stoked cuz i thought they were for my cherokee. He then tells me that they were off a wrangler.....so before i start wrenching away at my front suspension, do any of you guys know if i can fit wrangler lift coils on my xj?
thanks

 

Front coils will work, it's what I'm running, but you won't get as much lift as stated. Mine are 8" and I get about 6" out of them and they are way softer than XJ coils.

 

take measurements, compare, then put them in

 

oh ok i see what youre sayin, so i wont probably get 3 inches out of em, but they should do somethin? he also has a pair of 10 inch bilstiens that he's gonna throw in, is that a correct length for that spring?

 

I'm running Old Man Emu coils from a Wrangler. The guy I bought them off of told me they were Medium "weight" for 2 inches on his Wrangler. I doubt he was correct, I managed to get 2.5" out of them so I think they were 3 inch to begin with...works great though!

 

ok cool, im just still a little concerned because these wrangler coils look bigger in diameter then my xj coils, anybody had problems with the wrangler coils rubbing on the frame of the xj?

 

nope i am running 4.5" ones on mine right now they are about a 3" lift on it

 

Just to be sure...these were off the front of a Wrangler...right? The rear coils are much wider and a lot shorter. Otherwise, yea no rubbing issues.

 

im not sure, they're 18" by 8"...that seems a bit wide..

 

therefore they must be the rears bcz stock xj coils are 18x5 so these wrangler coils wont work..
oh well
