manche75 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have an 88 2wd swb comanche and have a broken front spring, i figured why replace them with stock ones when I can lift it or lower it. So i figured id lower it. Any suggestions on where i can find springs? Or if springs from another type of jeep will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBKrazy Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 i don't think they make lowering springs... someone on here will prolly prove me wrong tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Factory TJ springs will lower the front 1-1.5" IIRC.... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manche75 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 will the tj springs fit? Are they the same diameter around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Factory ZJ rear coils will drop the front 1.5-2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manche75 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 front coils or rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 front coils or rear? Front coils from the TJ (Wrangler). Rear coils from the ZJ (early Grand Cherokee). Yes -- they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpackjeeper Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 IFS, buy a kit. going that low on an independent system is going to mean new spindles and such I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trader ray Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Just want to ask this without starting a new thread, I have a 89 MJ 2 W/D with the 2.5 engine. I have striped a 90 XJ just about completly and it had the 4x4 with auto trans, 4.0 engine. I took the springs from the front and want to put them on my MJ to get a little lift out of it. Will they provide any lift? Thanks in advance. The XJ was the Larado version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 They should provide a little bit. Maybe an inch. Depends on how saggy they were in the XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trader ray Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 With the 2WD I guess it will be worth the time to install. I will have the fenders off as well. Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
