Jeep Springs
I have been reading on here where a lot of people are using Jeep springs to get a 4" + drop. If you used them did you have to modify the spring retainers because mine bottom out before they get tight on the spring, and exactly how much drop did you get? I got a set given to me and I am trying to figure out if I want to try to use them or just buy some 4" drop springs. Any thoughts and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Jeep Springs
I have a set and am using them. On a jeep, so not much help but if you need pix on how they are mounted i could take some when i am out at my shop on Thursday. It's a 79 cherokee if that helps.

Re: Jeep Springs
Im running them
late 90's TJ rears You cant haul much with em, they do bottom out with the retainers, I havent worked that out yet..You can make your own shock relocators, and adj panhard bar also, post back if ya interested.. I may swap mine back out for stock, caues i use my truck as a truck too much to justify the awesome stance..

Re: Jeep Springs
I'm using the TJ springs on my 64 in the rear,I only got a 3" drop but I like it. Haven't tried hauling anything in it as I don't use it as a DD. The spring retainers bolted right up No problem.
