If you have stock leaf springs, use rear TJ coils. If you have lifted leaf spring, use the front TJ coils as they are longer. I run with the front coils on mine.

Body Damage is Cool
I used TJ rears to lift my sagging rear. I installed a custom set of ALCAN 1" lift front leaf springs (that I bought on a factory overstock sale for something like $199for the pair w/poly bushing kit) that ended up giving me about 1-1/2" of lift. Then I installed the TJ rears over my tired rear leafs. Lo and behold! A miracle! My truck was perfectly level. Of course I normally have about 200 - 400lbs of tools in my bed with a fiberglass cap mounted as well. The ride is a little stiff, but much better than hitting the bump stops all the time <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Now I need new shocks and I find that the stock Billys I was planning on using are too short for the increased lift. -- Matt

Need a Spot
I used Mustang rear springs cut down to 10". I think they are 265 lbs. per inch. They fit over the bumpstops quite well! Rides nice!
