It's a case of time vs. money. If you want to spend less money, you'll have to spend more time designing, fabricating and sourcing parts. I am only aware of three coil kits for the YJ: Pro Comp, Warn (which sold its Black Diamond suspension division but the company that bought it is supposedly still selling that kit), and Tomken who previewed their CJ coil kit last year at SEMA and I presume it will work on the YJ as well.Originally posted by Stoker:
The kits to do this are incredibly expensive, about 3-4 times the price of a leaf spring lift kit. Is there a more economical alternative to get coils in a YJ?

That fits my time vs. money formula quite well. Very little dollars into it...and how many years? <g>Originally posted by CJ:
Well, there's the way I'm doing it. Okay, I'm only converting the front, but I've only got a couple hundred dollars into it so far, including the axle.

Hey CJ, have you worked on it since you returned to the PNW again?

Rockcrawler makes a fun kit with coil overs. Fabtech makes a really bling system with coil overs as well. Clayton used to sell a 5.5" coil converson kit for a YJ with his famous square tube control arms but seems to have dropped it off his website.It's a case of time vs. money.
