TJ Wrangler 97-06 spring lift

Hey,

I have looked at all the ZUK mod pages and also the TJ spring lift mods and decided to go TJ. Man, what a difference. I gained 2.5 inches of travel. The ride is perfect. Now, my runner doesn't bottom out when I hit a pot hole. Totally happy!! Took less than an hour and rented a spring compressor from autozone. I cut off about 6.5 in from the end of the coil(linear). Coil is nestled into the bump stop and I can see no way how it could come out. I also used a High lift floor jack from harbor freight.

I have some pix, will post'em in a bit.

Mitch

Glad it's working out, Mitch. The fatter the tire, the closer the rubber gets to the rear TJ coils...but it looks like you have enough clearance there. ZUK
