just a word:
the Aerostar coils will provide 5-6" of lift in the rear. you can't really put that much on the front to level it out and you have to make some of the rear links and panhard adjustable to make up for so much lift. you will also need to alter the gas-tank x-member as the driveshaft will rub it with 6". MPV coils, TJ coils, etc. will give 4" of lift and are probably better choices unless you're going SAS.

Dennis, Which TJ springs did you install? I got some from a local 4x4 ship for free, but they have a sticker on them saying they are for the KY, but not sure. Any info you can give me on your TJ coils would be very helpful. Looking for part numbers mainly. Thanks, Logansportage <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

Dave, Part numbers that are listed on the springs are as follows: 71765 52088404 404KY 4X4 shop said they were from a Wrangler Unlimited that was ordered new and drop shipped to them to have a Rubicon Express lift installed on it. Any ideas anyone? Logansportage <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

My springs came off of a stock TJ, I'm not sure if it was a hard or soft top. I got the TJ bumpstop cups and bumpstops from someone here on the wire in the Jeep forums.

No, The tags have come off but if yours are from an unlimited they my be to tall for a Sportage. I looked at a friends stock hard top TJ and I bet his springs were compressed at least 2 inches more than mine. Put them on and see what the do, it will only take about a half hour or less. The hardest part is unbolting your shocks.
