would this work??

[RCman]

I would weld two springs together. Just make sure you bevel the ends before welding.

I concur!

That should work. Is post heat necessary?

Nope, just super preheat it.

Nah, that's only needed on cast iron.

ok then smart pants, then no xj has ever had coil springs, let the world know!...

open your mind bro, theres more hardware out there than just garage springs

What's with the attitude? How many rigs have you done with coil overs?

FYI, the "coil" in the name has to do with the cooling coils for the oil, not the spring.

Damn that brings back some memories. Bill doesn't know anymore now than he did then.

I really don't see how anyone for the swamps of Louisiana has the ability to provide any input. You have your opinion, I'll give you that, but it's wrong.

I would go with a set of these. Just use a bpe on top.

those are a GREAT value. Just ordered a set for my rig. They'll see some serious abuse, but I feel that they are up to the task.

Coilover shocks allow the suspension to flex too much for the unibody to handle. Better to just swap in some leaf springs all around and call it good.

Sure. You can even adjust them when you want a little more lift. Say when you get a winch.
