mjeff87 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Well, I wasn't planning on going SOA....but a visit to the junkyard last Saturday changed all that. Chuck and I stumbled across a V8 ZJ, and I was going to pull the tie rod on it, when we happened to see some red parts on it. Lo and behold, the ZJ was lifted. An hour later, it wasn't :brows: The guys at the counter were less than happy when we wheeled the stuff up to pay for it, because apparently they JUST put it out that morning, and one of the staff was supposed to be coming down tomorrow to pull all of it. Too bad, too sad for him....he shoulda pulled it as soon as they set it down. $32 later, we got all this Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found 2" V8 ZJ lift coils (Skyjacker, maybe?) 1.5" Teraflex spacers, plus a new set of stock isolators 2 RS9000X shocks (front) 2 RS9000 shocks (rear) The coils and the spacers/isolators ought to get me near 5” in the front, or close to that, so I guess I should SOA the rear to match it.

KYMJ Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Great find.It's so much fun getting a good find at the pull a part. I used to make $600 to $800 a year on e-bay finding skids, towhooks, etc. I think they got smart, it dryed up.
pingpong Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Nice find. I wil help you weld on your perches if you like. Also I still have those short arms in my garage. I might even have a set of 33's or 35's you can get from me :D
jbhill Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 hellz yea i love good finds at the junkyard.
feerocknok Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Nice! That other guy still has the rear coils for himself. You should check for a part number on the coils to look em up!
mjeff87 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 The rear coils and spacers were already gone (no bother to me :D ) I searched all over those front coils and can't find a number on either of them, anywhere. They might even be 3" lift....they are 1" taller than stock ZJ V8 coils (I've got a pair of them I was going to use), and they are a tad bit thicker. Jeff
87manche Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 looks like skyjacker to me. That's just what my coild up front look like.
DansGreyMj Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 they r probably ranchos cuz ranchos r red too and it also had rancho shocks

Jeff What are you going to do with the v8 coils now?
mjeff87 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 I'm gonna hang on to them until I get these new ones in, just in case I need to play around with matching front/rear heights. I've actually got 2 sets of them, along with 2 V8 ZJ tierods (one of them is going on my MJ, too :D ) Are you looking for a pair? Jeff

Jeff I'm looking to do about 1 1/2 inch lift or so and I figure that is about what v8 zj coils will give me.
pingpong Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 How about doing a captured coil rear with anice 4 link with them :evil:
