Junk is sagging

[grand_wag_85]

BJ's is kind of confusing referring to the "springs" so I don't know if that is "springs" plural like price for a set or EACH and are we talking leaf or coil springs?

Could I just replace the rear coil springs since front look correct? Have to go back with stock ride height instead of 2" lift that way I guess but can spread the bill out more going back stock until I can afford fronts also. Just hate the Ford Exploders being so much higher when they blow by me, but another couple inches wouldn't solve that anyway

If you're going to replace them all it's cheaper do get all 4 at once

Unless somebody modified something your Jeep will NOT have coil springs.

Wow,I have crawled all under that thing and I would still have coil springs on the brain (35 years of coil springed vehicle will do that ha ha).

Okay thanks for reminding me before I called BJ's and sounded like a total idiot ha ha Sure glad you guys are here and thanks for the links

What kind of a project is it changing these>?

I know coil springs can knock you into the next state.

Should have called BJ's. You would have sounded like an idiot to just one guy, here there are hundreds.

The rears are an easy swap, it's the fronts you have to bend into place.
When I did mine the rears and left font went in slick as you please. My neighbors were learning new vocabulary as I fought the left front.

Not too bad, you'll probably have to hack your old U bolts off. For some reason dropping the gas tank comes to mind. A floor jack, jack stands, breaker bar and a strong friend or two will make the swap easier. While you're in there take a good look at the shackles, it'll be a good time to replace them.

Last but not least take some before and after pictures!

I hear both of ya!

Seriously, emergency fix is air shocks pumped up to 60-70 psi. Worked for me. I use Monroes on my '88.

I did the same thing, so far so good.

I cleared out all my picture attachments but for some reason this is the biggest and only picture I can post. Sorry for distance but can see the distance between front and rear even though casrrying a 350 Buick still

[Comancheap]

Hmmmmmmmmm lety me attach it in separate post. That will work

Okay time to go out and get the Buick running.I have it and the Jeep in the (wife calls) "Primo parking spots"

Can the leaf springs be bought cheaper at Napa or anywhere else?

Napa had these Rauncho (Rancho) "add a leaf kits"

Afraid I am going to slash one of my new tires on the rear.Scrubbing pretty bad on bumps, but having that motor back there is making it worse.Have to dig the cherry picker out of the weeds and find a spot in the barn for that engine

[Rich88]

I dont understand why its so hard for people to do things the correct way. Add a leaf, air shocks? really? come on people.....

I agree. Being "cheap" in the name of "clever" is always plain stupid for which I have no sympathy. But the main reason for many people is bona fide lack of $$$. But I did say "emergency" regarding air shocks. Kept me going over the winter until I could replace the rear springs.
