Post by: scrw on March 29, 2010, 07:19:33 PM

I thought that all WJ,s where the same height and only the XJ diesels that stud 1" higher.

Had mine parked next to a 2002 2.7 and there didn't seem to be much in the height difference, & mine has 2" spacers. Thinking either the springs on the diesels are higher or my springs are really shot

Doh, forgot I had the parts manual. Seems there are 8 different spring rates, doesn't say which is on which spec WJ, but there seems to be differences

I noticed that about the oil burners too wonder why that is do the XJ's have a taller height also then.
All WJ's should come with a ride height as if lifted & 31" tyres I looked at a pic of mine before the lift & it looked very pedestrian.
