suspension on a zj/tj
« on: April 17, 2009, 07:43:57 AM »
is the suspension set up in the rear of the zjs the same as the tjs, i know the front is but i'm not sure about the back, i got a good deal on a rear d35 from a tj but i need it to bolt in with little to no mods.

do you even read the replies in any of your other multiple posts??????   no the TJ axle is not a bolt in; the coil buckets are different as are the control arm mounts.....

but as stated before you can make anything work........

so now you're doing a bolt-in swap?
what happened to the cut/weld/make it fit approach you had last week?
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

Depending on the year of ZJ, 95 + came with rear disc brakes, TJ's don't so just be careful. The rear trackbar would not mach up either.
