TexasPthFnder95 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I've been looking into lifting my truck a little more than it is and i need to change the rear coil springs. Which ones would be the best for 2-3in of lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 your gonna get a lot of but there are several options...you can get springs from calmini, JGC (jeep grand cherokee) and cut them down you could also give Steeevo from Rugged Rocks Offroad a call and i'm sure he might be able to source some rear springs and some sway away torsion bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why im getting new rear coils because spacing the stock ones to keep up with the cranked bars are putting my coils in severe strain i sheared off a spacer wheeling in sounded like a firecracker going off when it snapped so its defintly time to do the rear lift right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasPthFnder95 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 What about the doughnut style coil spring spacers that go in between the coil and the mount? Are there any ones that fit our rigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 You say you wanna do the rear lift right but still want to do spacers? You can get some coils out of the front of a v8 Jeep Cherokee if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 What about the doughnut style coil spring spacers that go in between the coil and the mount? Are there any ones that fit our rigs? Bad idea, the centering post on our seats isn't tall enough, so the spring can pop off the new seat/spacer. Like has been said, look for V8 JGC springs at the local J-yard (got mine for $20 for the pair), or buy some lift springs from AC. Ef Calmini!!!!

GrimGreg Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Alright im gonna get a set of V8 Cherokee springs but about how much to they lift and will my sway away T-bars be able to almost match the lift?? Depending on the ones you get, 1.5-3 inches. Yes the SAWs will be fine to match, just mind the upper bump stop space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasPthFnder95 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I got the springs But i was reading your suppossed to cut part of the pigtail off does anyone no how much and what i need to do with Sway-Away T-bars to match up the front lift height with the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Cut it to where the main coil matches the rest. As for the sway bars, just install the as normal and crank them up. There's a how to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feyded Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Do the OEM JGC v8 coil springs(the front ones are what I want?) lift the rear of our trucks 3"? If not what SHOULD I be looking for exactly, thanks for any help, been trying to search the crap out of this before I place my order on my lift parts.

feyded Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I would like to get the AC rear coils, but they are extra, and Im trying to pinch every penny I can. As far as the JGC front coils, they will need to be trimmed, or rather the pig tail cut off and then they slip right in like normal? Thanks for all the help thus far.

feyded Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I definitely searched, that is how I found this page.. I guess I just didnt find that one, or didnt type in the right keywords. Thanks so much though for the links, very appreciative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
