Well I finally put the jeep coils in the rear. After reading about the mod, I kept my eye in e-bay and found a set a of coils for relatively cheep. Then I waited for them to be parcel post'd to Alaska (slow boat). Then they sat for a few weeks while other stuff got in the way.

Well this weekend sported perfect weather, and no excuses. So I took the die-grinder to the springs to cut em, and beveld the cut. Jacked up the rear and popped em in place.

I could tell just sitting in the truck of the different stance, and after a test spin around the block, could feel how much smooter the ride was.

I probably cut about 1/4 turn more than I needed to, but they work killer as is.

I did the same thing over the Memorial Day weekend? I also installed new Alcan leafs in the front that were built to give 1" of lift over stock. The new leafs in front and the coils added in back left me with a truck that is level. Of course I had a fiberglass camper shell/canopy/bed topper and 300 lbs of tools, my normal load, in the bed when I did the swap. Now I am worried because It looks like my shocks are much closer to the end of their travel when they are at rest.

I also pulled down my transfer case to replace a broken shifter rail and put a new pinion seal in the rear dif. -- Matt
