Which shocks and springs for XJ?
« on: September 21, 2010, 07:22:21 PM »

I currently have 1.75" coil spacers in the front of my XJ. I want to lift it another inch so my questions are:
Which springs will provide 1" of lift (make and model of car, please) or 3" (removing the coil spacers)?
Which shocks will fit 2.75-3" of lift?

I'm hoping to find something here in Europe since shipping from the states is so expensive. If you can tell me what other car/cars these springs or shocks is supposed to fit it would be of great help in finding the right ones from the dealers.

Thanks!

Think you need front spings off a Grand Cherokee with V8 engine to get a lift from them....I think they should give you 2".

Thanks for the advice guys. Llama hasn't responded to my email, any other UK company that you can recommend? I've heard mixed reports regarding the GC springs. Are there anyone who actually have personal experience of using them for a lift of a XJ?

my front springs are from a straight six grand cherokee and they give about 1" of lift. The road handling is crap now but then i suppose it will be with 3" lift an 31" tyres    :003:

Give Llama a ring... very helpful.

Grayspeed (on this site) bought a proper 3" lift kit from Llama and is very pleased, I've been laning with him and it's a great set up....
