proudpathy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 my original rear coils are starting to not cut it , so i need more height. iv heard that jeep grand cheroke front coils work for around a 3" but need cutting, new zealand road safety regulations are strict on that sort of stuff. has anyone done another lifted factory spring lift on there wd21? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebayfish Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I used MOOG JGC v8 progressive rate springs on mine & turned out great! I've also heard good reviews on aftermarket rancho & rough country springs.

Precise1 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm pretty sure Fleurys (a member here) makes spacers as well? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudpathy Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks guys. Ebayfish your trucks looking mint! And wd21colorado did these give about a 2" lift ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudpathy Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I used the 1997 JGC coil springs for the rear for a couple of months til I upgraded to a 3 inch lift. just wondering around about how much lift it gives and would i need that panrod bracket ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD21colorado Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The jgc springs did lift the rear about 2 inchs. But got them off a 1997 V8 JGC. At the time i didn't have a pan hard braken on but. Very strongly putting one on if you go above 2" lift. Also you might have alignment issues if you crank the torsion bars way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 In case you are also looking for another solution , I make rear spacers (in 1'' increments) for your pathfinder exactly for this purpose. check my website for sizes and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebayfish Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I got a solid 3" with new springs, but settled to about 2.5". I'm not running a panhard drop bracket, but have one & plan to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiBumBrian Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 There is some good info on springs and spring rates here, I believe it is a sticky in the Garage section. JGC springs are an OK, cheap way to get minimal lift and nominal increase in spring rate, depending on which JGC spring you use, and there are many. I think you will find that most people that do use the JGC springs decide they really need something more, which are available through aftermarket sources. I know Fluerys developed his spacers recently with a bit of help from forum members and have heard ones that have installed them they are happy with the results. Personally I went with JGC springs for about a month and then acquired some HD 3" springs from 4X4Parts.com. They provided all the lift I wanted, the ride may be a bit harsh for some but I like em. Gotta have a panhard drop and longer shocks. Good luck in whatever you decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPB.88 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 In case you are also looking for another solution , I make rear spacers (in 1'' increments) for your pathfinder exactly for this purpose. check my website for sizes and prices. I noticed it says made for 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders, so will it still work on my 88? I dont know all the differences in the 2 and 4 door models.
