Newbie question on installing a lift myself
Hi All,
I had a question come to mind that hadn't dawned on me till just the other
day.. I'm planning to get a 2.5-3" suspension lift for my '83 CJ7. I
planned to do the lift myself (with help from friends) but it ocurred to me
that once done, I'll have 4 spring pack doing me no good. In general, what
do you guys do with the old suspensions once you upgrade? They are stock
and probably not in sellable condition. (I wouldnt wish them on anyone
else). I dont have a need or desire to keep them once the new one is in.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading!

Re: Newbie question on installing a lift myself
If you live close so shipping was free, I would take them off your hands to
replace my bent stock spring. There is some value I guess if you wanted to
sell them. I gave some springs to my brother who was tinkering with his
homemade blacksmith equipment, he cut then in half and turned them into a
nice hunting knife. However one spring will last him a long time at the
rate he is going, you canmake a lot of knives out of one spring.

Re: Newbie question on installing a lift myself
Interestings ideas. I'll probably consider the trailer idea. thats
something that i've needed for a while.. I may try a local only sale in DFW
area so I wont mess with shipping but maybe someone is around here that has
a use for them when I ever get this thing done..
Thanks for some suggestions.

Re: Newbie question on installing a lift myself
Interestings ideas. I'll probably consider the trailer idea. thats
something that i've needed for a while.. I may try a local only sale in DFW
area so I wont mess with shipping but maybe someone is around here that has
a use for them when I ever get this thing done..
Thanks for some suggestions.
