coil spring question?
does anyone no of a coil spring that would work on a jeep cherokee (other than a jeep) like an old ford coil that would be the same size or damn close to it?

Just call up OLD MAN EMU...they have a website. They sell almost every coil spring and weight/duty you could ever need and make great products. They are well priced too...also check out quadratec.com they sell just different size Jeep coils as well.

Re: coil spring question?
xj springs are like 150 -180 lb/inch . . . . alot of the old fords were around 400 - 450 lbs/inch would give ya a hard ride . . but as far as bolting up i beleive f150's are about the same diameter . . why do you not want xj coils?

Re: coil spring question?
ive got 10inches now but i want 12 or 13 but cant find coils over 9 for a cherokee so if i find somthing with the same size coil maybe i will have more options.... but i didnt think about the weight ratio diffrence.. thats a good point

Re: coil spring question?
King coils would work well. I don't know many coils that go over 9-10 inches. Esp for an F150. But those will work.

Re: coil spring question?
there are a couple companies that make custom coils but once you get so tall with em they start to try and kick out and stuff . . . if ya got the money why not go with coil over like king coils or something . .
