yes... I searched... a lot.


so my question is which coils should I get?
I'm looking to get a 6 inch lift.
I'm into doing trails, rocks and maybe a little go fast stuff :D
what's your guy's opinions and experiences?
thanks!
 
i have clayton 8" coils(bigger i know) but they compress enough to stuff a tire nicely and stiff enough to allow me to control my jeep on the HWY while doing 90 with no swaybar(never again though)

You might want to get nice rebuildable shocks. That will almost help more then coils in the ride department.

Most people who use Skyjackers seem to get the 8'' coils and cut them down, but I cant tell you to what.
I had RE XJ 5.5 coils w/ 1.5" spacer and the ride was HORRIBLE. I have Rustys 6.5" coils now and ride is much better. I don't have a swaybar, but need long arms... drop brackets = shit ride too, but Rustys 6.5" coils helped some. and dropped me down an inch for stability.

The reason your ride was crap was because your control arm angles, not your springs. Although Im sure the Crusty springs have a softer spring rate which did help.


I have TnT long arms, no sway bar with Bilstein 5100s and its a nice ride. A little to soft, so a sway bar might be going back on.
