XJ coils
« on: January 05, 2005, 08:55:47 PM »
 :o

These suckers are LONG. Measures 5.5" longer then the stock ones, side by side. Prolly at least 3" of lift. I got a bit of a rake now! I got that balljoint spacer, so I was able to get em in there pretty easy. I captured the bottom of the coil, and it looks like it runs out of travel right before the coil pops out of the top mount. Just need to modify my shock mount, and add new shocks.

Going to move the upper mounts towards the back of the trackick by drilling the frame out and adding a bolt so I can go eyelet to eyelet, and get rid of the upper threaded mount.  ;D

Front or rear of your trackick? TJ coils are way too low in spring rate to use on a wishbone type aplication. there is about triple the load on a wishbone or strut set up than a dirrect conect to the axle. Due to the leverage of the arm past the spring. they will work on the rears though and you can use Ranger or explorer coils on the front. I think, If I remember correctly, maybe, ??? Hey whitfeild ;D

How did you get the springs to fit around the bumb stops.  The XJ spring's center is skinnier than the kicks?

Yes I know I was a jeep guy long before Zuks I just read the post wrong. I still think I am right but can't say for sure. there are few soid axle springs that will work with a wish bone system.

Thanks

but its a jeep and its trail rated it can go anywhere and your little toy car can't even hang on the easy trails and......... you think you can get on top of that rock so you can spend your time and $ and winch me out of this preDICKament I got myself into with your real cool little mega wheeler.

thats when the KY is needed

Thanks but no thanks

Yes, coils are for the rear. I can get pics tomorrow after work. And the coils fit around the bumpstops just fine. I forgot to put the coil spring pad isolator thingie back in, so I get a little clunk now. But then again, I might be getting the clunk from something else. I dunno! Nor do I care.  ;D

Need to get some eyelet to eyelet shocks tomorrow, and drill a couple holes in the frame, sleeve them, then bolt on those shocks.

Next up: Divorced Sammi t-case!
