smithe1811 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm going to need to replace my front springs soon and i am in need of some advice from the Manche Masters. I have a 4 inch lift and am looking for some decent springs at a low price and i basically want to avoid buying somewhere cheap and end up breaking one. just something mostly for DD use with mild wheeling and very little highway.

Pete M Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Interesting. :hmm: How close to the end of the coil is the bad area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithe1811 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 the end is straight on the other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Admittedly, I'd probably run it until I noticed that side sagging lower than the other. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithe1811 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 well i figure if I'm going to replace the shocks i would look into doing the spings next, thats why i was looking for input on an inexpensive yet well made set. any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 start looking in the classifieds on here and naxja for a set of RE springs. Should be able to come up with some for a good price used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 A lot of options for coils: - older ford trucks: late 70s F150s - firm but do provide about the amount of lift you have. Tons of these in the yards. See http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Sus ... t_Lift.htm - ZJ Grand Cherokee Up Country springs or any Grand Cherokee V8 springs -- get all the steering links too. - Motion Offroad, RE, or any of the aftermarket guys have em pretty cheap.
