i was thinking of getting some adjustable coil spacers for my 91 cherokee. i was thinking they would work great for the added weight of a bumper. rather than buying new springs. i have a 3" inch lift on now but i am getting some RE 4.5" for the rear. i figured that the spacers would work the front. anyone out there use them or should i just get new 5" springs for the front

 

ok, IDK of adjustable. but I know of coil spacers... and yeah sure, go for it.. its cheaper than buying new larger coils..

 

I'm sure they are cool they cost out the arss.

 

the adjustable spacers that I saw were a bit spendy in the neighborhood of 250 I thought that they looked pretty handy but not for that kind of scratch.

 

i run them they are nice and easy to use. they are a little expensive but give you the ability to adjust for bumper winch and sag. i got them for 200 from 4wheelparts.com when they where on sale

 

I have personally seen adjustable spacers stripped after wheeling, they didn't drop, but the threads where messed up enough that they were locked in one spot and could be adjusted anymore.

Adjustables are for ricers so leave them to them and get some solid spacers.

 

jks makes the adj. spacers they have a pretty tuff product? if i were to use solid one what kind of material should they be made of?

got an other question what about steering system would stock still work for 5" of lift

 

Check out the vendor forum, Howler_GT has some solid metal coil spacers for sale for a very good price. And as far as you steering goes, you'll just have to see how it feels, but if it needs it you might have to do a drop pitman arm...

 

really because i have wheeled the crap out oh the jks's i have and they are perfectly fine but i guess my jeep is a ricer right

 

I plan on running the JKS Adjustables. Everything I have read about them is that as long as you keep the threads semi-clean and corrosion free, they work awesome and are perfect for being able to compensate for heavier bumpers, winches, etc. And alot of the guys beat on their rigs pretty hard. There are always going to be the odd case of failure but even then, it usually comes down to maintenance.

 

yeah i have seen them on a few jeepspeed xj's and i know they beet them harder then i can and they look like new so i am not worried

 

well I'll keep an eye out to see how you like them once you wheel them for awhile. If they are decent then in a year when I go to put on new bumpers it'll make it easier to adjust. Maybe the ones I sen where cheapo's.
