Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys just want to ask a few questions.

Is the Grand Cherokee the only mid size jeep with coils all round?

The XJ had coils front, leafs rear?

So basically I want coils all round for flex, then fit 35's
Im happy to get the grinder out which im assuming is necessary.
Diff Gears?
4.88's for the petrol, is this correct and where are they sold?

That will do for now, thanks

XJ Cherro FOR 35's =
5.5" front coils, 4" rear leaves, 1.5" shackles, long arms front, long shocks, sye, double cardin shaft, disconnects, adjustable track bar, HD tie rod, drop bracket for track bar, ratios 4.56 +++++

All depends what your budget is. My ole XJ ramped over 1100 and thats with leaves in the rear. You dont need coils all round to mod them.

Check out wooders.com.au for parts info and ausjeepoffroad.com for people who have walked there before you.

good luck

The JK has coil suspension and the one below is running 35s with no lift. They are available in 4 door also.

Thanks for the replys.

The two doors are bit small, the four doors look pretty good.

But the JK is too new and expensive, I want to scratch mine
(prefer the look of the cherokees anyway)

I want coils for comfort and flex. So the ZJ is looking the part at the moment. Jimmy did you change diffs on your XJ? Were you running lockers?
Can anyone clarify if the diffs are standard d35 on the back, d30 front for the ZJ

Yep D30 front D35 rear. Has CV's instead of the Unis on the XJ though so not quite as strong or easy to replace if they break etc.

If I was going 35's I'd be puting a D44 in the rear and beefing the D30 as a minimum.

Interesting that they went to CVs for the Grand...

Just for reference Steve what size tyres do you run... BTW love you custom bar and sliders work.

I run 32's, which is pretty tight on an XJ, I also run 4.5-5" of lift and minimal trimming of the guards (I like the stock flares etc), with more trimming I could run 33's but 35's would take way more work and cost and ruin the Jeeps comfortable long distance touring feel. Thanks for the comments on the bar work, I'll be starting on a new front bar as time allows which will have provision for a winch. It'll be a longer process as I'm going to include some upper tube work etc as well.

Cheers

Yeah thats another thing I just realised. Its a unibody so no body lifts to help fit tyres.

I still love my ZJ and it's coily-awesomeness.

3.5" lift and 31's

definatly JK wrangler 4 door and 2 door 3inch lift is enough lift for 35's ive seen 37 with flat flares
