Think I'm going to mod my buckets to fit the XJ coils better and see how they perform.

They will be very stiff.

I think he'd be better with cheap & stiff than flat & stranded like he was this morning? :icon_idea:

 

[escort_gts]

Right I remember now. That would work better than what I had in mind.

And in other news, I picked up the Goodyear MTs. Ended up only paying $100 for them. Really lucky they were already mounted on 5x5.5 wagon wheels. Got to mount one and drive home after the flat this morning.

How well do the xj coils sit in the cups on the radius arms? Aren't the xj coils 5 1/4" od and the early bronco and f150 coils 5" ?

If they fit ok I need to get some.

 

[disciplerocks]

Fit perfect. I'll bring the F150 coils with me tomorrow.

If I wasn't too broke right now.... I also had a question. You mentioned the D28 rad arms have a "Better Shock Mount" What exactly do you mean by that? Cause I know you have to move a shock mount in some way or another to switch to jeep coils.

the d28 ra's have a bracket for the bottom shock mount
the d35 ra's have a stud sticking out that the bottom of the shock mounts to...its a weaker setup than the d28 arms.

i don't think you HAVE to move the shock for xj coils... most people that want more flex use f250 shock towers tho, to get a longer shock for better flex.

 

[disciplerocks]

Yes the only mod I made was F250 shock towers.
