This will give you the "Upcountry" option suspension. Read the reviews. Add up the cost of parts.

Dlm01XJ

will the UpCountry fit 31s?

Martlor13

No

Dlm01XJ

Darn lol
So the reason they wont fit is because of flex while wheeling for the rear and at full lock on the fronts? or just any bounce in daily driving Ill hear the rub?

XJ's have either the 231 or the 242--difference is the 242 has the full time AND part time, where the 231 only has part time. Both have 4L. Just look at your shifter. The 242 will have 2 settings for 4H, the 231 has only one setting for 4H

Dlm01XJ

I only have part time 4H. so what does that mean for my current situation?

True, but if you look back at the link I posted for the YJ springs, the description states the price is for the pair.... that listing is by "liftkitsforless" though. So I decided to google "Zone Offroad J0200" and the results show more than a few listings for individual packs at 70 a piece.... https://www.google.com/search?q=Zone...hrome&ie=UTF-8

It means you have a NP231

Dlm01XJ

and what is an np231?

mikesignal

gets more confusing to me I looked at Zone and the part number for XJ 3" leafs is J0308.

so I guess this listing is for the pair @$130 which is crazy--fat bob has it listed @116 for one leaf spring

lol.....

Seller's description:

"Sold in pairs"

Question from buyer:

"Is this for one leaf spring or a pair?"

Answer from 2 purchasers and the seller:

This did not come as a set, I had to purchase two.
By dak on March 8, 2016

By Amazon Customer on March 13, 2016

Man, you are really sold on these 31-inch tires, huh?

Look, you're gonna have to trim the fenders. No getting around it. It's also not a big deal, and a super duper easy thing to do, and like, an initiation into really customizing that Jeep. Watch a youtube video and get it done.

Actually, based on your questions, you're going to want to watch a lot of YouTube videos. Focus on the Leaf Spring replacement and rear shocks, these have the most potential for not going well.

And don't get hung up on "used" stuff from a salvage yard. There is nothing wrong with reusing a bigass hunk of steel from another vehicle (leaf springs, coil springs.) The S10 and Dakota/Durango leafs are much stronger than the XJ ones. Or use a combination of your factory leaf, coupled with some leafs from an S10, called a Bastard Pack - again, watch a video. BleepinJeep explains it.

Or better yet, go check out Dukie564's build

He's a moderator on here and his Jeep's a GREAT example of money spent in the RIGHT place and "budget" parts used correctly. He's also an engineer so you can pretty well trust what he does to his Jeep.

Nice thread. I'm subbing it.
