    Coilovers. I want some! Any ideas? I am trying to find out what spring rates I need and guessing at my unsprung truck weight is at the corners. 😁

    This should be interesting. I've thought about coil overs my self. Of course, in the case of the XJ, would need to go to some form of 3 or 4 link rear suspension. Looking forward to how this all turns out for you.

    9100 17in bilstein coilovers with 300 over 400 springs



    I am going to do a long 4 link and I will be keeping the track bar.

    Very nice 17" will give you a lot of articulation. Where are you going to mount them in the rear? Drill through the floor of your bed and build a cage? Did you also get air bump stops to match?



    I am very interested in how this goes.

    I'm thinking front only.



    That's what I want to do with my JKU.

    There are so many things for me to do/complete, for now I'm just keeping my eyes open.

    My white Jeep is pretty much done, as in I won't be spending any more money on upgrades. But if I were to spend more I'd have to put coil-overs near the top of the list.

    I used to wheel a lot. . .

    Is it after the new orange paint job?

    If I was to put more money into it, I'd tube out the back half and do coil-overs front and rear. I'd also put in new seats and harnesses.

    Any particular reason you went bilstein? Anyone know anything about Radflos? Lots of Nissan guys running them and I'm eyeing a set.

    Nice. I think you will like the on-road manors of the 4 link vs. 3 link. The Johnny's should take care of the bind that stock framed 4 link rigs get with 16"+ travel in front. Those 3' shocks are BIG DOGS.
