so i was wondering what company makes the best lift coils for the xj. my coil springs are so stiff and my ride is crap unless i keep my tires air down. i think i have older style rustys coils. i want a softer coil please help.

i am thinking rubicon express will be the best beat

are you sure its not the shocks? i have 5 year old 6.5" rustys and they are almost too soft.

skyjacker nitro 8000 i used since i was 16. i tried others but never as good in quality. they are great

i am not sure about the coils maker but there too harsh of a ride

I run some IRO 4" ones on mine and love them over the lower rate RC's... Define harsh? Its a solid axle vehicle.... they aren't exactly Cadillacs

ok so my coils are most likely cheap crap. i am just looking for the best coils for the xj. I dont have a ton of experience with coils so i am looking for the best on the market. i was alway a leaf spring guy for years

s14unimog

like I said, the IRO ones are really nice compared to a soft RC (I think they have two rates available)

ok thanks i will check it out

i like RE

so was was talking to a few others out there and t seem the RUBBY express would be my best beat

Most people will tell you Rubicon Express is the best, cause there the most expensive, and they don't know any better. The Rough Country springs ride just as good as RE and are much cheaper.

i've ran rusty's and RC on all my lifted XJ's and MJ and mine have always been pretty nice..... i'm thinkin your just not use to a coil sprung ride

we i had my jeep since i was 16. I was thinking it can be thwe spacers but who knows. i have 2 inch daystar spacers.

Do you have the factory arms still? It will ride like crap if you have bigger springs with the factory lower arms.. I got Skyjacker Coils on my current jeep and had RC on my last one the Skyjackers are a little stiffer but takes off road bumps better.. Hope this helps goodluck!

step 1 go long arm. the rigs ride so much better on long arms

step 2 get real shocks, no rancho skyjacker rustys crap, get some bils under there

ok bilsteins are overpriced for the mostly same quality of jackers. and plus bills cost 3 times more then jackers. sold auto parts for 5 years. nitro jackers work very well. I have the drop brackets with adjustable iron man fabication shot arms. the cheapest thing on my truck was the coils. they where pretty much free. so please dont tell me things i have a junk because there not. this was a easy question about coils not the other gear on my rig. it build right. just looking for the best coils
