xjrev10 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 If I did this to my stock 88, would it net me a little more tire clearance-work as sort of a leveling kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 comparably equipped 4wd MJs are about an inch taller than 2wd ones. but that's given identical engines and similar conditions of the old coils. pucks would give a more reliable amount of lift (since it'll be 1" or 1.5" taller than what you have right now).

xjrev10 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I would probably buy brand new XJ 4x springs. Jeep is a 4.0 2wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 you could do that. :thumbsup: pucks would still be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 2wd clear 30.5 tires? Probably need a full 2in lift in the front.. I'm looking at 245/75/16s on the mamba rubi lookalike wheels.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledmerchant Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 sounds like what I'm doing/did on mine. My Old jeeps an 89 4x4 xj I was running 235/75/15s on. I got a pair of MOOG Heavy Duty Coil springs at Oreilly's and put them on. They were noticeably taller than stock springs, I think about 1-1.5". I'm stripping all the front end parts out of the 89 now for my 2wd MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 my 88 back in the day. 2wd with 30" BFGs and jeep alloys. no rubbing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 The jeep in question has 216k. It does seem to sit pretty low already... Ill just have to order them up and see if they fit. Spending 1200 on wheels and tires, I would make them fit :yes: But like ya said Pete, some coil spacers would work.. Maybe ill expirement a little bit.. Let the snow melt!!
