4.0L HO Jeep Engine Build
I was thinking along the same lines Mope. For what it is, it really doesn't handle all that bad and I didn't want to ruin it. Raising the center of gravity doesn't help matters, but the stiffer springs with more travel and Bilstiens all around should make up for it. At least that's the plan anyway. I not going hard core wheeling in this, just some easy trails and camping is all. As you already know, these vehicles are darn capable stock off the showroom floor. I just wanted a bit more suspension travel and a bit more height for some slightly more aggressive tires in the future and improved handling on the street. I want it all, lol. Here's a comparison of the stock front springs and the new ZJ progressive springs I installed. The coils are much thicker and the progressive rate should keep it riding nice on the street and reduce body lean as well and add a bit more off-road capability.
