Karmann Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So I just bought, without thinking quite enough, some Jeep Grand Cherokee springs for the rear of my pathy. They fit and lifted a WD pathy 2" in the rear. Will these work on my R50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbley11 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think you'd be the first, IIRC. Cut the pigtails and find out it it fits then see the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they're already cut, so I'm good there. Just hoping I didn't make a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ok I've been researching. Does anyone know the Outside Diameter, Length, and Coil Thickness of the stock rear springs of a facelift R50? The same info on an OME or AC would be equally helpful. PS. Yes I did search the "Using Non-Pathfinder Specific Coils to Obtain Lift" thread, and it offered not quite the info I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick13 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, you definitely won't be the first with WJ rear coils. I'm on my second set, but yeah, they can work with a little customization (modified seat/adapter). Something like this? I think the estimated lift heights aren't all correct and I'm sure the prices aren't the same (I did this over 3 years ago): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I can measure my ac coils when I get home. They seem bigger than wd coils though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) You need adapters. The diameter is bigger on the bottom. Maybe top too, but I trimmed mine to fit the cups and for the truck to sit level. They were 6" WJ (Grand Cherokee) lift springs. Krypton Fabs has them for $30. http://www.krfabs.com/product_detail.php?productID=6 The two cups in the top left is what you need. Bolts on and the spring sits around it. You can sort of see them here. Edited November 27, 2013 by 96Pathfinder4x4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they're wj or zj Hahaah Edited November 28, 2013 by Karmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yendor Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Now if JGC springs fit the R50 with a seat adapter, would I be able to fit the Calmini 3" lift spings out of my 95? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJoosten Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hey Thorpe991, I just finished doing the krfabs 4" subframe drop + the AC 2" coils, I used 4" Wj coils in the rear with krfabs adapters and 1" spacer. I think if you were to get the 4.5" coils for the rear with a 3" front spacer you'll have a really bad rack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You replied to posts from 2013. I believe that user no longer is active. If you want a subframe drop kit, you are looking at $900+ USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
