Rear end sag - how to fix?
I recently bought a 94 ZJ Limited with ~135k mi. It's a 4.0 with selectrac. Don't know about the rest of the options - if someone has access to a dealer who could look up the options based on the VIN, that would be cool.
The rear end is sagging some. Would like to put up country springs on all four corners. How can I tell if the springs I'm getting are up country springs? Is it worth the trouble? Will I have to change anything else if I do this? Thanks! Ryan

where are you getting up country springs.. unless your getting an awesome deal on them id check out some OME springs they are suppose to give a great ride and a little bit of lift..
do you have a lot of stuff in the back? |

I haven't found any yet - I just was wondering if I started looking at junk yards how I would tell. How much are the OME springs?
I don't have anything in the back of my ZJ. I think it just did some towing and carried around a heavy sub box in its previous life. Ryan

lift it an call it a day
serisouly a BB is gonna be cheaper then new springs and if you are gonna go through the trouble of swapping out springs you better swap in either some good lift springs or a BB, or youll be kickin yourself later down the road when you want to lift it

If you want to go cheap and just fix the rear sag. You can put front springs from a zj in the rear and it will lift it! Just my 2 cents

in regards to finding out options for your car, you can go to the jeep website and somewhere in customer service or relations there is a form you can fill out where you enter your vin and they send you a build sheet via email for your jeep
