Jeep Coils

Can anyone tell me if I can use Jeep Grand Cherokee (2004) to lower the rear of my 1967 GMC

Thanks

Re: Jeep Coils

the spring rate on the jeep coil imho will not be enough to hold up the bed and be way too soft

are you going to be using front or rear springs the front are strait coils but the rear a beehive shaped i have seen rear zj coils after moderate wheeling wear out

Re: Jeep Coils

I can't answer your question exactly, but here is my 69 lwb with TJ coils in the rear and cut coils in the front.



They are soft, and I wouldn't plan on hauling any loads with them, but they most definitely hold the bed up.
