Title: Looking HD coils 98 Cherokee
Post by: WagoneerXJ on January 06, 2013, 03:55:06 PM
So my dad's 98 XJ is getting a snow plow. We got a Snow Bear Universal, that mounts into a front receiver hitch. Plow assembled weighs just over 200 lbs. Front springs are already sagging on it, as the 235/75's are getting close to the fenders.

 He wants to put in new springs, but wants something heavier duty, or even something out of another model jeep that will like a V8 ZJ? He does not plan on lifting this jeep, but if it ends to be up an inch or two in the front then so be it. What can I use?

OME TJ Front Heavy Duty springs OME-2933

Probably give about an inch of lift in the front, good for a plow.

I tried the ZJ v8 coils in my xj, I doubt it did anything. Maybe if you use the up country ZJ v8 coils you'll gain something. Maybe try two spring isolators on top of each coil.
