Rear end coil over question

[XJ_holmes]

I have a 96 cherokee sport with a three inch rough country lift with add a leaf kit in the back. my question is how would i go about changing the springs in the rear end to a coil over system instead of the leaf kit? also how difficult is this to do on my own? thanks for any info

To do coil overs instead of leaves:

Ditch the leaves.
Build 4-link rear
Reinforce EVERYTHING
Install coilovers.


Several bolt-in kits are on the market. I believe Clayton makes on.

does anyone know of any other companies that make a bolt on kit. I'm looking for something that would be like if i would have bought the coil over kit for the rear end from the beginning. thanks for the advice about the 4-link lowrange2. I don't really know what a 4-link is if you could explain that would also be nice

whoa. If you don't know what a 4 link is, you're definitely in way over your head. Spend some time in the mod-tech and advanced fab forums here, maybe over on pirate too, and search and READ. I don't mean to sound like a search Nazi, but that's really what you need to do...

ok so i just looked up a picture of a 4-link and i do know what it is i just didnt know what it was called. ill do some research thanks for the help. the answer i was looking for is a company that makes a kit that is just for the rear end to convert it from leafs to a 4-link with coils. thanks again

Rock Krawler and Clayton are the only companies I know of that make a rear coil conversion. Both are good kits, but you better have a little money saved as neither is inexpensive
