tj front springs on a kicker
« on: April 04, 2012, 06:10:33 PM »
Has anyone used the front springs of a heep TJ in the ifs trackick?
I have easy access to some, just need to know if they would work(cutting to length a given)
I am aiming for 2-3 inches of lift from stock.

I'm using the jeep LJ front springs on the rear of my sidekick4 door and Ford ranger front springs on the front of my sidekick. Generally you have to use ifs in ifs. The front spring rate will need to be 500 lbs. And in the 150- 200+ for the rear. My LJ springs gave me 5+ inches in the rear and are a little on the stiff side so I'm puting 1" longer arms on. The factory tag says 29AA. The factory ranger springs needed 2 3/4" spacers to match the back and are a touch soft but ride nice. Good luck!
