OME 2.5 HD lift Standard Coils or ZJV8/LJ Coils?

[FirstTimer]

I am planning on purchasing the aforementioned lift in the next couple of weeks from Stan at Northridge, and just when I thought I had everything figured out he through me a curve ball and said that the lift is available with ZJV8 front coils and LJ rear coils, netting me an additional 3/4" in lift.  My questions is does anyone have any experience with the standard coils vs. the ZJ/LJ coils, and if the extra 3/4" is worth it?  Worth it, meaning evening with the extra lift will I still keep the drive line vibrations enough to now have to upgrade to an SYE.  I will be running 33's, with bushwacker flares as well as a 1.25" body lift.

Thanks

i think the V8/LJ coils are the heavy duty coils, which mean for heavy applications. so if you're loading you jeep down with hardtop, gear, bumpers, winch, extra fuel, then sure, use those coils. but if you only plan on using the hardtop in winter and no serious bumpers and gear then stick with regualr coils. someone can confirm this though. i prefer leaf springs.

I ran ZJV8 coils in the front of my XJ for a while. I liked them. They're not overly stiff or anything, just thicker and slightly stiffer than stock springs as they're designed to prop up a heavy V8 engine as opposed to a lighter inline-6.

As far as vibrations go, I did have them at 3" of lift, and it turned out to be NOT my rear driveshaft, but my front driveshaft; 2 of the 3 u-joints had seized up.

I'm now running approx 6" of lift in my XJ, with no modifications to the driveline (eg. SYE) and I'm fine! It might be my imagination but sometimes I think I feel the slightest of slight vibrations at 110km/h so I'm going to do a 1" TC drop just to be safe.

Hope this helps in your decision. I say go with the V8 springs.

I think I have a set of v8 coils kicking around still if not you can have the ones in my jeep.  pm me if you want them

Any other opinions on this one?

Buy the kit without springs, grab digmans coils we'll check them in. If you hate them order the ome springs.
