lowering springs

[manche75]

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?

[WBKrazy]

i don't think they make lowering springs... someone on here will prolly prove me wrong tho...

Factory TJ springs will lower the front 1-1.5" IIRC....

will the tj springs fit? Are they the same diameter around?

[Geonovast]

Factory ZJ rear coils will drop the front 1.5-2 inches.

[manche75]

front coils or rear?

[Eagle]

front coils or rear?

Front coils from the TJ (Wrangler). Rear coils from the ZJ (early Grand Cherokee).

 

Yes -- they fit.

:hijack: and this is off jeep topic but......

 

any one know how to lower a 1995 1/2 ton chevy? it has a V6 and it 2wd so pretty much never going to be fast or good at offroading so I'm going street truck with it.

 

 

i wanting about 5 inches in the front and 6-7 in the rear (i already installed 2" lowering shackles)

IFS, buy a kit. going that low on an independent system is going to mean new spindles and such I would think.

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.

They should provide a little bit. Maybe an inch. Depends on how saggy they were in the XJ.

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
