64 c20 jeep springs
 
2 Attachment(s)
So like many others before me I have purchased a set of 98 tj springs. From what I have collected the rears should bolt in pretty easily. There may be the issue with the panhard bar needing adjustment. As for the front I was wondering if anyone has tried using them up there as well. I could not find a definite answer. I know the regular answer is cut a coil out or drop springs bla bla bla. Also any experience on how much the front camber is going to be messed up. Is there anything else I should look out for before I dig into this project. I eventually plan on bags but I couldn't pass up 20 dollar setup when money is short.

Thanks:chevy:

I ran them for about 6 months.

YES they lower the rearend about 4-5".

You WONT have ANY hauling abilities.

The rearend will be a little bit out of adj (could use a panhard adj)

I dont think you can use the front springs (way way way smaller than the rears)

Did you just run it out of wack or get an adjustment. any other issues?

And as far as the fronts, im not planning on using the front jeep springs in the back. I was asking about using them in the front. They seem to be close to same diam. maybe I misunderstood you.

THanks

I cut 1 round from the front coil and jeep springs in the rear. I use my truck as a truck and the jeep springs werent for me (liked the lower look but the springs were too weak).

here is a pictuer. Yes i just ran it outta wack I was going to go with adj. panhard but put stock springs back in (bottomed out constantly, i live in the country on bad roads too)

I think this is it

Ok cool, I have a 04 F##d that is my hauler so it will be just for cruising. I was worried about the c20 being a little more heavy duty and squatting more but anything is worth a shot once. I may try and see if the f. jeep ones work in the front on my truck as well. I dont really want to cut yet just in case i have to go back to stock all while trying to save a little bit

thanks again.
