I read something about using Jeep XJ coils on a Ranger/BroncoII to increase "flex".
What I would like to know is what springs to use...
I am using Skyjackers 2.5" load leveling springs for a ranger. They are giving me about 2" of lift, I was woundering if a 3" XJ lift spring would give me 3" of lift on my BroncoII?
Also, will they just "bolt in"? will they fit my spring buckets?
I would like to do this spring swap as soon as possible, my TTB springs are just a little stiff so any help would be great. Thanks.:icon_cheers:

I had a set of Rancho 3" XJ coils in mine for awhile, they were good for about 2" of lift (I had to use spacers to get 3" out of them). Currently I have Skyjacker's 6" XJ coils which came out to about 5" lift on my BII.

Do you have any actual lift on your suspension? (3" or better drop brackets, extended radius arms, etc.?)? You'll need those (and extended shock mounts w/ longer shocks) to get the full benefit of such coils (some minor coil bucket mods are needed for the coils to sit properly within them, along with a larger lower perch made from a 1.5" plumbing flange).

I dont have extended radius arms yet, but was thinking about fabing some up.
I am using 2.5" drop brackets for the beams. I can for sure get enough camber out of the bushings and cam bolts to go anouther 1"-1.5".
I understand the need for long travel shocks to get the most out of the coils.
And thanks for the info on the springs, sounds like I am going to go with a 4" XJ coil to get the extra 1"-1.5" I am looking for.
