Low front

[nfunlimited]

Hey everyone.

I have a 2005 unlimited with the 2" BB. I find that the front sits noticeably lower than the back. I know this is the case with most tj's, but was wondering the best way to lift the front and keep the rear with the 2" BB. Of course I would like to keep the stock shocks right now.

Any ideas???

Well...I've been contemplating the same thing lately. Try throwing a winch up front...you'll sag even more. My solution is going to be keep the 2" spacers in the back and buy some 3" lift springs from Rustys. They sell the pair of coils for $110. I'm hoping that it's a good fix for the issue. The rear end will still be a little bit higher, but I'm guessing I'll gain 1.5 to 1.75 inches up front due to the inch of extra lift and it should also compensate for the weight of the winch....if I feel the need to go further, I'll toss in a 3/4" coil spacer. They are about $40 for a pair. I plan on doing this in December (after I'm done with my kitchen...). I've seen one other guy with this set-up on another forum. I figure for $110 (possibly $150) it's worth a try. The issue with this is you won't be able to run stock length shocks up front...but I'm not, so I'm not worried.

So I added the winch last night. IT does sag a little more, but not as bad as I thought. I have a friend who just installed 3" frontsprings on his Tj, but is soon going to a 4.5" lift, so I may try those springs fro next to nothing.

THanks!

It'll probably settle a little more once you've put a couple thousand more miles on the rig...mine sure did. Gotta finish remodelling the kitchen and then my Jeep gets "level" again.
