Fitrider77 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 K so i just picked up an MJ and i plan on doin a long arm kit and i heard to run f150 springs in the rear i just wanna now what would be the best long arms to do like a 3/4 link or radiose arms and this is my daily driver but i don't care about ride quality just as long as i don't get death wobble on high way and I'm lookin for a 4+ inch lift and what other springs do people run in the rear and i have an uncle that can help me fab a long arm kit if you can make a home made better but I'm lookin for somthin that will drive me to the rubicon...wheel and drive back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I think long arms are massive overkill for a 4-inch lift, but if you want long arms, IMHO you can't get better than Clayton's Offroad. I have visited their shop. No matter who you are, you can't possibly build one better, and Clayton is an industrial engineer so you also can't engineer one better.

mnkyboy Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I prefer a 3 or 4 link over a radius/y link longarm but really any of them will do the job. I don't think F150 springs would be a good choice as they are too stiff. I've heard of F150 coils used up front but never heard of anyone using them in the rear.

87manche1 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Wouldnt the rear springs be to wide also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitrider77 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Idk i guess i might be wrong about the f150 springs cuz i was thinkin about the xj cuz my buddys got an all out wheeler and runs f150 i think out of a 2wd or somthin and serton years but then i rememberd the mj is a little diffrent in the rear what are good springs to run cuz i have SOA and i HOPE theres an add a leaf in my pack so it will lower it a bit antidisestablishmentarianism if i take a spring out of the pack will that drop it a little?? and i have a 4 inch lift kit with an 8 inch lift... He put 4inch spacings up front and rear looks like he just did a SOA but would that lift it 8 inches?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche1 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Roughly 6 for soa taking a leaf out will make it ride softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I think if you go longarms in the front, find some 6 inch front springs, and just do spring over axle in the rear with stock springs and new shock mounts. I think this will get you the results you want and you won't have to mess with rear spring combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
