Thank you all for the many replies.

Dave I won't argue point-by-point but I am surprised a guy like you is questioning do-it-yourself-itude. Bad things are said about the Eibachs in some circles, and while the Rock Sport Gear is highly rated the TJ springs fell into my lap for nothing.

I may be impatient sometimes but I'm not a complete idiot, I knew the minute I got the stock spring off that I might be going the wrong direction with that TJ front spring. They are like 7" difference in height alone, once I started trying to compress that sucker I realized how many dimensions there are to a coil spring.

Look for more stoopid newbie mistakes soon, I just finished a conversation with my jeep buddy that he started with "If I was going to fab up better bumpers for your Sporty..."

no one said you were an idoit or that you were "stoopid."

i merely said, i didn't hink it would work due to the massive differences between the types of vehicle suspensions, the weight of the vehicles and size of the top and bottom diameter of the coil springs and the repective seats they need to fit into. now, modification of those seats could be in order to greatly increase the possibility of fitment, but as far as rates and weight-handling, i can't help with anything other than to say that is something you should find out before going through all the effort, unless you just don't mind the process. in the end, it's up to you, but you asked what we thought.
