Eagle Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Find a Carquest parts store and buy a pair of XJ/MJ "Cargo Coils" BTW -- There's no such thing as a Grand Cherokee V6 -- at least, there wasn't until this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdjr Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 yes the grand cherokee came with a v8 or L6 4.0 engine and the v8 springs are the same size as the L6 but the are thicker gauge for the heavier engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Ford f'ing trucks (F-150, 250...) coils work. 4.5" of lift, rides like you've not got any suspension, outflexes a forklift by a hair. Some of them need to be 'modified' to fit on the coil bucket though, as they have a cross to retain them at the bottom. Got angle grinder? Ford thunderbird coils work. They're weird. V8GC coils. Yup. 1.25" maybe. As far as other junkyard things go... Take a set of calipers, a tape measure, and a calculator and you can figure 'em out.
