I know there are kits out there for converting the CJ to coils but I was thinking about converting the front only and keeping the rear with leaf springs.

I was looking at how the TJ's are set-up and some online tech, articles (procomps' & black diamonds' kit), it really doesn't look all that complicated.

-2 coils springs
-2 upper control arms
-2 lower control arms
-1 track bar

Obviously the hardest part would be fabbing up the bracketry for the axle (caster angles & such). Anybody got any ideas or has anyone done this? I was thinking about just using the existing "eye" on the frame rail (where the rear bolt for the front leaf goes) for my control arms. Utilizing this "eye" for the upper and lower control arms that would come into a "Y" (one bar) and bolt on the old leaf spring eye.

I don't know what to do about the coil mounting other than cutting off the brackets from a TJ and welding them onto my frame. Also, what size coils would I use? OR any other things I should consider? Reason for doing this? (I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' REASON FOR JEEP PROJECTS!)................for better flex and softer ride; and I'm out of projects to do.
