I am thinking of putting 2" skyjacker coils on my Sport, is a 2 door heavy enough to compress the springs fully? I am looking for the best flex I can get with minimal lift. I have already built new radius arms so droop is no problem.

:dunno: camber may not be able to be aligned(within specs) with 2" springs
 






i ran 1.5" rough country coils b4 my 4" lift.. i did have a problem with camber but my sport was heavy enough to compress the coils
 






I've installed one of these kits and it was able to get alaigned. I believe spring rate is very similar to stock so being able to compress is not a problem. Matched with your extended radius arms I think you'll be impressed with what this will do.

Not a bad call to check out what GLFredrick has done gaining maximum travel on minimal lift. If you're not aware TTB coils are often much stiffer than coils you will see on other jeeps and straight axled trucks. Taller softer coils matched with quality shocks will get the ride back under control.

I have some stock Jeep coils on it and set it on the ground and the drivers side compresses all the way to the bump stop. The factory coils are so stiff that they won't compress I want to avoid that.

I don't have any pics since i put it all together. I may keep trying to make the jeep coils work since they are not coil binding at full bump. I could make some new lower spring perches to get it lift it a couple more inches. This is also a 2wd to 4wd conversion and I just discovered that the tie rods are too long also. The 2wd tie rods are much thicker than the 4wd tie rods from the doner truck.
