A question for you TJ and LJ owners

    In all of your modifications, would any of you still have your stock height rear coil springs tucked away. Please let me know.

    Don't ask any questions yet, but this is the fabrication section.

    I might have some springs. Not sure if they are stock or not. I'll check and get back to you.

    Um...what?

    Thanks guys. From what I've read, the "stock" rear TJ coils under the XJ will allow me to remove my 2" spacer on the front coil.

    Mine are long gone, but I do have two rear stock coils out of the ram express.

    Don't see how that can be true? The rear coils in a TJ are shorter and fatter than XJ or TJ front coils. I'm perplexed.

    I used to wheel a lot. . .

    They'd be going under the rear between axle and subframe so, yes, they will be shorter than front coils.

    So you’d link the rear and use the stock TJ rear springs? Or is your rear already linked?
    That makes more sense to me now. Thanks for clearing that up.
    So you're looking to lower the rear? Then you can remove the front spacer and lower the front?

    Something tells me that coming down on those hard might launch me through the windshield. Their spring rate is about double that of the stock XJ.

    That's the plan. So far the numbers are working out and the upper and lower CAs are in route.

    I'll start a build thread as soon as it all comes together.

    I'll be assembling bits and pieces for a bit. No rush.
