How to tell when coil springs are shot?
 

I'm replacing the shocks on my '96 ZJ Laredo (130k miles)for the first
time (with Pro Comp ES9000's). While I'm at it I guess I should replace
the springs if they are shot but replacing 'em looks like a bit of a
PITA so I don't want to bother if they're ok.

How can I tell if my coil springs have reached the end of their useful life?

Also, if I do need to replace them, which aftermarket maker would be
best for moderately priced no lift springs?

Best Regards,

Marcel

By measuring the ride height against the manufacturers specs.

Where can I find the manufacturers specs?.....Or better yet could
someone let me know what the spec is for a '96 ZJ Laredo 6cyl 4wd with
the standard suspension.

The best place I can think would be contact a NAPA, get them to retrieve the
specs from their Monroe or Moog spring book.

Hope that helps. That's where I got it when I was in the business.
