Is anyone running Early Bronco Coils? I am working on doing a D44 HP swap in my xj and was curious if anyone is running 66-77 Early Bronco Coils and if so why? and what are you running and what has it done for your rig.
Just playing w/different Ideas..

I dont know for sure...BUT, I think that they have the same diameter. I know that the coil mounts off the axles work for the XJ springs. They may very well work. If you have some, try it!

The top of an EB spring makes a 90 degree turn & cuts straight across the middle of the coil. I guess you could cut that portion off in order to use it. I'm not sure what spring rates they are either.

I was going to run some progressive rate coils from JD and I contacted them about it and they seemed to think it was resonable and all the bronco guys I know swear by the progressive rate coils. I decided to wait until I have a bunch of other projects done before I try it, since my currecnt setup isn't broken. Just research the spring rates and heights before you buy and let me know if you try it.

Well I have a set of 3" Rancho off of an EB I may play w/that and see what it does. They are just sitting on the shelf in my garage I guess it won't hurt to see what happens.
Thanks Guys I will let ya know what I found out.

Because I was not thinking earlier, I have decided to engage brain and look, Rancho rates the EB coils at 485lbs/inch, they rate there Cherokee Coils at 240 as does BDS, so I would say no way hosea on the EB coils. I love when I answer myself....sorry to waste space.
