Suspension Jeep CJ Coil conversion...

[1badcj8]

Looking for someone that has actually done a front Coil Spring conversion on their CJ, not coil over, I've done that on my Big Scrambler!

On my second Scrambler I want to do Coil Spring 3 link in the front. I am of course going to do 4 link with Coils in the rear, which I also have done on my big Scrambler.

Are there any "Kits" out there that you know of AND if you've actually done this did you use a kit? I know tomken, that was in Buena Vista,CO, used to make a pretty sweet coil kit for CJs but Jeff sold that a long time ago.

Thanks.

JD Offroad makes a kit, though not specific to CJs. It is a universal kit. Tomken used to make a kit. Don't know if they still offer it or not.

I haven't seen a kit for the CJs there are some YJ options out there. As TSBBC said any universal kit should work

My jeep has a YJ frame and my front is 3 link and if I remember correctly I got the brackets from Artec. The other company to check out is Motobilt

So I did some checking and calling. JD Offroad - Closest I could get to that was a company in Germany and a JD Fab that does stuff for trucks... NO Jeep anything universal or other wise. Got a strait up NO from them. I also mentioned Tomken in my first note. Jeff the dude that bought it from the OGs of it is an old friend he sold it a good while back. No response from them at all, dont even know if they are still doing anything. It was a very well laid out shop when Jeff had it.

Artec does make some excellent brackets, top and bottom, I've used them before. Have their rear truss in My big Scrambler. Motobilt was also a NO GO... but offered to let me sift throughtheir endless pages of "builder parts"!

G, is your front link for coilovers or did you dp coils? I did my coilovers in my crawler one but dont want to do coilovers for this one.

Seems like I'm going to have to piece it together, Again... Not the end of the world just not as easy as just putting it together. When I did my 4 link and then re-did it longer WB I used Synergy's rear link setup with Blue Torch Fabs TJ buckets, it was an awesome kit, but they no longer make either of these. Any way thanks, I spec I'll get it all put together at some point. Start buying parts and then when I have it all I'll wonder "what the hell was this for" lol.

My front setup uses ORIs and my rear setup uses rear lift coils from a Jeep LJ.

CJs are getting old, so it makes sense there's no off the shelf kit for them.


You could get a YJ frame, extend it to work with the scrambler tub and then use a Coil conversion kit, or maybe use an LJ frame, or buy a new TDK frame that's setup for coils

I was thinking GenRight- but they may only do coilover kits.
