Southen Crawlin Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 the mj I'm picking up has stock rear springs with soa and some other stuff. my question is will stock XJ springs lower, raise, or keep the same height and will they move the axle back at all. I'm wondering this since i want to move the axle back a few inches, lift it more, and i allready have stock xj springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 XJ springs arent long enough is the problem. they sit almost flat on XJs to begin with anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southen Crawlin Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 so theyd do the opposite of what i want...... oh well ill just have to move the axle mounts back i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Take the main leaf from a S-10 pack and cut the eyes off it. Insert it in your pack below the main leaf (on each side). Re-drill the centre holes on the spring perches. Both problems solved...ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Theoretically, using XJ springs in the sping-over-axle set-up should put you back at about stock heighth. However, the springs are much shorter, as Oizarod115 stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
