For F-150 coils are identified with a spring code. Not finding any information about what the codes equate to with regards to ride quality i.e. firm, brutal, squishy, etc.

Anyone know? Can get...

Thanks. Just looking to get by for a while. I'll replace them as soon as I can with the right ones.

One question I still had: does it matter which model of S-10 I get leafs from: 2wd, 4wd, sport, w/ abs, etc?

Also, there's a set of TJ coils for $60. Would those work, or am I still looking for...

Not aware of any clubs where I'm at: Durham NC area.

Lose flex? Meaning travel range of the shock?

To the front:

Read that you can run stock shocks for up to 3". I expect it's not ideal, at the least, but for a daily driver and tame trails is what I read reasonable?

I would be fine with shackles, but since I've got frowning leafs I'm going to go ahead with the S-10 pack first, and then see about shackles. I hope to get what I want out of the S-10's.

$50 sounds like my budget, but one side of S-10 leaf springs costs $50 around here.

I hear that spacers are noisy. Any trouble with them?

I'm going with S-10 leaf packs with my main XJ leaf, and new or used coils from either a XJ or F-150.

But then that brings me to the shocks (which I just replaced with OEM), and so on. This is my...

Closing in on the plan. S-10 bastard pack for the rear.

Front: Read info in an earlier link about using F-150 front coils or V8 ZJ coils. I can't find any Up Country V8 ZJ coils used, but I've got...

Does it matter what flavor of S-10 they come from? I've got several options at the salvage yard (2x4, 4x4, ext. cab, sport, ABS). $45 a set.

Is the front end strategy of springs + spacers solid?

If so, what combinations do you suggest? V8 ZJ coils aren't easy to find around here.

Does it matter what S10 the leafs are pulled from?

Thanks. Different than another combo I found, so wanted to make sure.

The result would then be, no sag and 3" lift above factory height?

I've got some around town for '94 - '00 S-10's. 2WD and...

That sounds different than I thought. I thought you took one of the longer S10's and inserted it into the XJ pack. What you're saying sounds like you take all of the S10 springs and add them to the...

But I should add the S10 leaf to a good factory set, right? If I add the S-10 to a sagging booty, it's not going to last.

Back to this again. Learned a great deal since this early post. Thank you all who've been teachers.

The goal is 2-3". I do not want to be forced to get new shocks right away, or drop the TC. Am I...

Thanks. I got a bit concerned shortly after I traded for it. A bunch of stuff was going wrong, that would have been found beforehand if I had gotten a proper inspection. I skirted that, foolishly,...

2001 Limited. 155k miles. Looks to have been a city-only vehicle. No dents or dings, and a really clean undercarriage.

That's a lot of information, NW99XJ. Thank you.

I've got a well known 4x4 place down the road, and they sell a bunch of the various kits, as well as their online place. I don't want to buy...

Thanks for the link. That looks like a great option, but I'm not sure it would work for me right now. I drive this Jeep every day, and I think I'd likely be down for longer than would work right now,...

I didn't know there was a junkyard build. I'd be very happy to have a parts list. There are a few lots around I can harvest from. I could get the parts together over time.

I figured that the...

New to Jeeps. Learning a great deal, and loving the whole Jeep thing. However, I'm confused by way too much information and am asking for some help in narrowing things down a bit.

I can afford a...
