Default 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.

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?

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

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.

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 . .

Why would you ever need that much lift? Is this just for mud?
