Front Coil budget lift?

[Marrokstrader]

Alright...i've read ton's of these post and have been unable to actually find a front coil that would possibly come from a salvage yard that could provide the amount of lift to match the rear dakota springs....and still not be to firm. Is there like a yj coil or something that can do that? just hopin someone out here can give me some insight on this. Thanx

GC V8 coils should work. Than add spacers and shakles and enjoy about 4" of lift. :greensmok

 

[Ramsey]

the v8 coils will net you about a inch or so, f-150 will match but might be to stiff for you

 

[asatxj]

It'll take zj v8 coils and a spacer to match the Dakota leaves. I have a pair of coils make me an offer :eyes:

I used some Heavy Duty XJ springs from carquest. They gave me about 2" of lift and were $70 for the pair.

really i might have to try that on mine, seems like a cheap way to get a lot of lift

 

[BrettM]

good thing it's not an XJ then :laugh3:

lift coils, long-arms, 3 links and different axles don't belong on the front of an XJ either. who would even think of *gasp* modifying a vehicle

 

[Marrokstrader]

Alright so let me review now. I can get all of these supplies but what about the ones i can't get.

Rear Springs: Dakota rear nets 3-4.5"
Rear Shackles: Chevy Z71 nets 1-2"
Rear Brakelines: Dakota stock lines
Front Brakelines: Dakota stock lines
Front Coils: F-150 nets 3-4.5" or zj coils nets 2"
Front spacers: Net 1.5-3"
Pitman arm: ? any ideas for a salvage yard pickup?
Shocks: I heard that another jeeps shocks were longer and would work but i don't remember which one. does anybody else?
Control arms: ?
