Ok my friend asked me this and I don't have any answer. Can you put another veh's spring on the TJ for a lift? I have heard of it with the 91-94 Explorers using a F150 spring up front for a 2" lift. Can you do something smilar for the TJ?

but you can't do the front and rears from a zj, the f/r are the same diameter in a zj, but not a tj.

Basically all you have to do is make sure hte springs are all the same diameter. If that's the case, then you can put in any springs that you want.

I put rubi springs in my TJ (sport).. They have are stiffer so they dont settle as much, its not much of a gain, I am running a BB as well, and hope to put some meats on as early as next week, will let you know how it turns out.

Depending on what you find, I would make sure your shocks and struts dont become too short.

what about a budget boost? 180 bucks with shocks??? this seems like a more logical answer

Well, to be honest with you I don't know how that only cost him $150. I mean the springs are about that price alone.
If you want 3 inches of lift you have two good options.....
1) Budget boost with a 1" body lift
2) Spend the $600 and get a 4" lift, wait 5 years for it to sag down an inch.
I just can't wrap my head around the fact he said he only paid $150 for that type of lift.

You have to remember that lift took him a while to get. Probably aquired a bunch of the stuff from friends and what not. i went the BB route and now i'm saving for a "real" lift. Do yourself a favor and just fork over the extra cash to get a Rubicon Express 3.5" Standard lift. You can upgrade the components and you won't feel as though you wasted ~$200 on a BB.
