treywurst Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I was just looking through your pics, can you measure from the top of your rear bumper to the ground and tell me what you get? Thanks! Trey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treywurst Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 Ok, does this make it better.....Anyone else with a JGC coil lift, could you please do the same? I don't think I got as much lift as everyone else and want to confirm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airrun2002 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Ok i can get a measurement as soon as i get out of class. I got about 2 1/2" of lift from the JGC coils. Edited April 20, 2005 by Airrun2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treywurst Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 Check out the coils Slick used. I was just shocked at her photo's....looks like the rear went way up! The coils I used, and the one's I have seen other's use only had 9 coils....These have 11..... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...0&.dnm=8943.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treywurst Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 Tire size will make a difference in this measurement....I have 31x10.5x15's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailChaser Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Her JGC coils are definately different than mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Sorry... yes I have 31"x10.5" BFG AT KO's on mine. Yes, looks like Slick has some progressive springs while the most commonly used ones are not. Still, the non progressive should give you an additional 2.5-3" B Edited April 20, 2005 by Precise1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) HEHEHEHE.. I WIN!! I have 29" (top of bumper to ground) on 255/70/15 tires...I swear I got almost 4" of lift.... do I get a cookie now?? oh.. and I took the tire carrier off...and used the stock rubbers on top of the coils -bounce- Yes.. my coils do seem different, I got them (brand new) for a '97 JGC...front...V-8. Still have a great ride, comfy, little stiffer than stock, and them coils can stuuuuuuuurretch! I can get anyone the p/n if they want it. I got them @ Kragen for $70.

TrailChaser Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) H*LL YA, post that part#... I'm probly getting a "new" 95 pathy pretty soon and I'd luv those instead of the regular ones... and $70 for the set ain't bad, they were $70 for 2 right?

Earth1 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I remember reading somewhere that the Laredo model had a slightly thicker coil. Could add a little extra lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabod7 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) do these jeep coils fit an 88 model? Edited April 20, 2005 by gabod7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I will post the p/n tomorrow, I don't have it handy until then. Yes, it was $70 for the pair. -bounce- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC88Pathy Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 do these jeep coils fit an 88 model? Yes the JGC lift is for 86.5-95 pathys. Use the search to get more info on the JGC lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I don't think measuring from the bumper to ground would be the better way to compare lifts... as long as measuring from the fender to the ground, it can be affected by the tire size. Alright, we can say "mine is a 31", "mine is a 255" and so on, but even the same nominal tire size can differ much depending of the brand. BFGoodrich 31" are 882mm, Goodyear Wranglers 31" are 877mm, just 1/2" higher than Goodyear Wranglers 255/75-15 which measures 863mm. I think it is better to measure from the center of the wheel (at the middle of the center cap) vertically to the begginning of the fender flares. That way, we'll only have two variables: 1 - people who don't have a fender flare will measure to the fender and then subtract let's say 2" (I don't know exactly) 2 - people who have a body lift will subtract the amount of body lift, for example, 3" I guess this way we can ignore the very highly variable tire size...

Slick Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Ok. Go to partsamerica.com (Kragen's web site) as that's where I got them. On my receipt it says PN 8360513 $69.99 then under it on the receipt it says FCS782V whatever that is..... HAPPY SHOPPING!!! Oh, and I had the same 29" tires before and after I did the lift....... -bounce- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailChaser Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) Here's the ones Slick got for $70. These are the 97 JGC lift springs... Those are for 2-3 inch lift on a JGC V8 I wonder how much they'd lift the back of the pathy??? Any know for sure if this will work, or would it be too high or too stiff??? I'd like to gain 4-5 inches in the rear with the tire carrier and all my crap, plus I plan on a rack for the top soon which = more wieght...

There sre some springs here that I believe will lift a JGC 3/4". Don't know what that means for a Pathy. But I could be wrong. Found this site a while ago and only skimmed. They may have meant 3/4" for a Pathy. drivetrain.com Edited April 21, 2005 by Repack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILLVOX Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I think i have the same coils as slick. I got them on e-bay and they are aftermarket coils made by Moog for a 95 JGC. I will try and find the part#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth1 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Keep us posted on those lift springs. Those aftermarket JGC coils seem like a good idea. Or has someone already tried the coils that will lift a JGC? I thnik I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailChaser Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'm a little confused also... I hope 88 chimes in soon. I'm just stumped because the 2-3 inch lift JGC coils should fit perfect after cutting the pigtail, but lift a pathys rear 5-6inches for only about $170. I bet it would be a real bitch gettin'em in there... Then you'll prolly have to extend brake lines. I feel like I'm missing some important reason this wouldn't work.

KILLVOX Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 This is the discription of the coils Description These were originally for a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They are Moog part # CC780. You can check at www.federal-mogul.com for your application and see if these will work. I cannot guarante compatibilty, so it is you responsibilty to find out before you bid. These run about $75 new for the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
