Default zj rear coils

I know that on some of the ZJ lifts they use the front springs on the rear. Can us XJ owners use zj rear coils on the front of our cherokees? I mean if they are lift coils......

the rear coils are shorter and the diameter is a lot wider than the front coils. I highly doubt they would lift. they might actually lower a cherokee...that is if they even fit

The ZJ rear coils are not wider in the rear. They are pretty much the same diameter as the front coils. Just shorter.


A TJ rear coil on the other hand .........



But I agree ... it would be too short for the front.

Spring rate is a lot softer too, so it would not work well, IMHO!!
