CEThomas Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Had someone yell me to use ZJ springs on the front of the MJ, what is the difference? Charles
Eagle Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 V8 ZJ springs, especially if they came from a ZJ with the Up Country suspension, are a bit taller and higher rate, so they give about a 1" to maybe 1-1/2" lift when used in an XJ or MJ.
DirtyComanche Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 So are stiffer. And give lift. Others aren't.
CEThomas Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks, He told me to get 4.5" lift ZJ springs when I do the front lift. Did not know why unless it was for the winch when we mount it. Charles
DirtyComanche Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Lots of people think stiffer springs are better. Honestly, I don't.
feerocknok Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Lots of people think stiffer springs are better. Honestly, I don't. :agree:
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I can maybe see swapping these in if a buddie has them or you just run across them for cheap..... But if your going to the trouble of ordering coils to lift your rig...Why not just BUY THE RIGHT ONES!! :roll: ;) CW
Scott86mj Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 These are the springs I got. They say 5.5 on xj and 4" on a zj.http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Products.aspx?Cn=326&Pn=1710&XnPath=320,322,326&Vid=746F441122900
jared Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 a stiffer spring would be better if you have a big winch and a heavy front bumper on your truck, but if you have it pretty stock up front then just get the right ones for the xj/mj
Oizarod115 Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 my brothers truck has the RE zj springs and they hold his winch+Jcr bumper off the ground pretty well. theyre 4.5" (for an xj) coils and that plus 2" spacer he's running 35s. with all that crap on the front. doesnt ride rough and if the CA's could move it would flex like crazy.
