Jeep guys...

The Rock Krawler springs I put on my JK were excellent, and the price was good. I waited for a sale from Northridge and got them for a song.

The Zone lift I put on the XJ isn't too bad.

Only one I have right now.

Ira fairly recent though. About a month ago.

We have 1 of their lifts on the TJ.

trying to fit a bigger tire?

love me some LJ. will most likely have another.

At this point no. Don't want the hassle of having to re gear. The tires on there now are just under 33". I just want to get rid of the bb and maybe gain an inch or so. Occasionally the tires make contact with the front fender flares.

replace stock springs and BB with these
Old Man Emu TJ Front Heavy Load Coil Springs
Old Man Emu TJ Rear Heavy Load Coil Springs

 

[whiskey tango]

I thought those were sold individually. For a pair that's pretty reasonable.

You could do OME springs, maybe rubi Jk takeoff shocks, and lower control arms for a cheap decent lift.

you need a tummy tuck worse than you need lift

FACT!

Go to local spring shop and buy a set of springs they make.

Is that a normal thing? I'm country as **** and don't know of a "local spring shop." I know of a heavy truck shop that can re-arch leaf springs, but nobody that actually makes springs.

lift it enough, & I know its an LJ, but you could need a new driveshaft (& arms)

I think they're pretty cheap too...

That's another reason I don't really want to get over 2.5" of lift.

And while we're on the topic, I saw this bad boy yesterday.

It was in great shape for being 70 years old. The land owner where I'm working uses it for a runabout on his property.

Seems to be popular here. I assumed any metro area would have a spring shop. RIGs are big business here, so are the classics and customs. Boise Spring Works kills it in those groups. They'll make you full custom or sell you kits. Everything springs related goes to them first and they distribute elsewhere. Less markup FTW. They'll match or beat pricing on the kits. I'd rather toss money to a local, reputable, family owned company than some asshole in OH or PA.

Under $550, IIRC. The add-a-leaf is cheaper but I wanted the full spring packs.

Drove my LJ to work today in honor of this thread, been two months since it left the garage.
