ZJ coils on a TJ

I have read this will give 2 " to jeep Anyone hear this? I am in need of a buget lift for now and this sounds like a cool idea.

its true, get the ones from the V8 grand, give you an extra inch or so from the heavy motor

that would work..

but if you were to get set of A.C.O.S. (adjustable coil over spacer) they are only about $150.00, give up to 3" of lift and you could still run them with whatever lift you decide on later. A set of 2" poly spacer's for the rear end and your good to go. just an idea. also the spring cups are different I had to put TJ cup's on my ZJ's rear.

thing is if you get the adjustalbe spacers and this is a mild wheel you lower control arms up front will bind and hit the shock mounts on the front 30, that happened to me when i had them on my cherokee with 31s and those spacers.

and they would'nt w/ zj springs?

same thing will happen w/ zj coils, plus he will need brake lines, a pitman arm, and shock's.

well as of the body shop work tonight, with the sway bar f/r gone she can flex up a jersey block. i am gonna go with a 1" body and still undecided on how to lift the rig

Here let me post the pic for you Steve:



It is time to do the tubing on the front.

Thanks I was getting to that but since you already put it there.

You don't need a pittman arm on a TJ. After 3 inches of lift, it's a good idea, but you don't need to install a dropped pittman arm for 3 inches or lower.

I want to thank everyone for there input, I am still exploring the zj coils but I am putting a 1 inch body and 1 inch coil spacers for now due to Budget (WIFE):kissmyass: but I will be tubing the entire front end in the next month or so. Then to the lift.
