I've searched and I've see that some people are running V8 ZJ springs in their XJ's for about 2" of lift. I'm wondering how the ride is in your XJ with V8 ZJ springs? It's obviously going to be firmer, but... I'd appreciate any input, Thanks.

I have ZJ V-8 springs in my 94 Sport. The ride is slightly firmer, but in no way harsh.

BTW, I only got about 1 inch out of them (compared to new XJ springs), and they are brand new springs.

I have a set of OME V8 ZJ coils in my 91 to net about 3". I got them through DPG and they didn't reccommend running, atleast the OME ones, unless you had a winch or heavy duty bumper on the front. Mine rides just fine with my ARB on the front. A friend of mine ran OEM V8 ZJ coils in his 95 for a while and it seemed to ride fine with the factory bumper.

I have mine with a 1.5 spacer to make 3.5 inches. I like how they ride. they are a little stiffer but they ride great.

Thanks for the replies. Firm but not very harsh is exactly what I wanted to hear.

@ sgt. slaughter - Are those the $75 Autozone springs?

I ordered mine from a spring shop.
