MQ front springs on zook rear???

Post by squeekiii »

Heard of people doing this and done a bit of measuring and think i could do it but wanted to know if anyone has done it. if so was it worth it and did it lift it much. (I dont really want anymore height).

MQ is a heavy weapon, im running hlux leaves and had to remove a leaf to get the ride right, MQ's would be an extremely harsh ride i would think? (unless you're running MQ diffs and some massive tyres, then itll flex, but it still wont ride well).

Dee has the MQ's in the rear of his zook, check his members thread and shoot him a PM.

i had MQs on the rear of mine, perfect length awesome lift. i got rid of mine cos i couldnt get a soft enough spring bush for my liking. Cj jeep springs are slightly longer and 50 mm wide and thus are a much better option. however a little harder to fit.

they actually fitted my hangers better than the stock springs, unsure if mine are stretched or if they always sit loose in there. i fitted mine with redrilled hangers 25 mm forward. there for moving back about 50mm. pretth sure they were 75mm longer than my 2" kings

did it lift it at all?

What did u do with rear shackle setup?

what else did u have to modify e.g. shockmounts break lines etc

thanx

all in all probably about 3" lifted. not massive but i wanted a lower vehicle .

shackles were 2" extended and sat a little past 45 degrees.

I already had inboarded shocks and an MQ breakline on the rear so im not sure if they were needed but i wouldnt think there is much more to it than is needed for 2" lifted ome's
