What year of F150 are you thinking? The TJ springs are a smaller diameter than the stock Sportage springs, so the coil spacers are also smaller in diameter. They will fit, but the stock springs will not fit into the spacers and will pop out. If you have the TJ springs installed already and try to fit spacers too, you will run out of room on your breaklines and other things. Not a good idea.

i was thinking may be a 87 shocks would fit the 99 sportage but this was just a thought. i was told 98 rav 4 shocks will fit but the are expensive. I plan on lifting my kia i have already put 31x10.5 on it and i am tired of it draging the back fenders
99sportage 2 door soft top 31x10.5 hope to do a suspension lift when i find some tj springs

$21.99 each expensive??? Try AutoZone Part Number:61651 for rear shocks. (They are working fine on mine.) How much lift are you wanting in the rear? Kia rear springs are prone to sagging and breaking so I wouldn't invest in any spring spacers.

thanks for the reply, I was planning on making a drop bracket for the front diff, like my toyota and chevy have. in order to achive the amount of lift that would be needed. without the bumpers and some minor trimming of the lower fenders(where the piece is below the door) I was thinking that I would only need a 6 to 8 inch lift. but without available gears, there would be no point. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

PM me about Lift Kit and check out: <a href="www.upyourkia.com" target="_blank">KIA LIFT KITS</a>
Also, the hole in the grommet of the RAV4 shock is larger, so what I did was push out the new one, and replace it with the old ones from the shocks taken off.

I'd check on ebay for oem tj shocks, that's where I got mine. Look for 106's
2001 Sportage, TJ 106's, Everet spacers and bumpstops, Bilstein shocks on the rear, cone filter, Crager wheels, 235-75-15 Goodyear tires. Custom front winch bumper by Dave Scott. Currently DOA, but it is a work in progress.
