Mj Specific Lift kits

[cheapcherokee93]

4WD F150's have a 3" wide rear leaf spring the 2WD has the 2.5" one unless the much later model Fords got a narrower spring. The MJ is 2.5" or is it wider? I guess I could go look at my MJ. LOL!

Oh sorry, I thought you were asking about the MJ springs for some reason lol. Yeah, the f150 was 2wd that I pulled the springs from.

Just called Hell Creek and talked to Tom. They closed their spring plant and have their plans out for pricing. Looking for a builder from what I can tell. He said they should be back available in a month or so.

Good to know, I was curious as to what exactly was going on with them.

Tom has announced that Hellcreek is back in business.

Don't say just go spring over bc I don't want to do that. I'm going to be building this for my boys and me to share. I don't want my teenage twins to have a wildly build MJ to destroy. That is what my jeep is for.

May I ask why you don't want to do this? A flatter leaf pack will flex and ride WAY better than a curved leaf pack trying to attain lift. The ride quality will be nicer than anything you could buy for under $500 and would also improve clearance slightly. All you will need is two leaf perches and could reuse everything else including the OEM axle shock mounts (on the U-Bolt Plates).

I went spring over with the OEM leaf pack and added one S-10 Leaf and one XJ leaf to the pack and with a traction bar, it works REALLY well.

only reason i didnt go spring over was because of lift. i only wanted around 3-4" and SOA would have given me like 5-6". my bastard pack seems to be working fine anyways :dunno:

eventually i think i would like to get a set of deavers made up for it

Same here, I didn't want 6" of lift and my stock leafs were so shagged out that 3-400lbs in the bed would put it on the bumpstops.

Get on line and google JackIt.com. They are a suspension shop in salt lake City. They put my 4.5 together and rebuilt my rear springs and bushings.

This... ^^^^ I only want this on about 31's or 32's tops. It's going to be a DD and Weekend rider to the farm and URE.
