need advice on on-road suspension for ZJ

**jnocerin** · 09-24-2008, 09:01 PM

Hi All,
I haven't posted in a while, but need the advice of the masses :-)
I have had and loved my ZJ for nearly 150,000 miles and she has always treated me well. at ~ 80,000 I replaced the shocks. But now I really need to replace the suspension again, and this time I think I need springs. This is what I need advice on......What is the best suspension that I can acquire without sending major money that will be good for 99% on road highway usage that will provide a good ride? Also I have a spacer/budget 1" "lift".

Thanks all
Jess

You aren't just replacing springs. You'll need to check out new swaybars and bushings. A new steering stabilizer is another item to replace. Have you thought about shocks?

Control arm bushings will need replaced.

For the stock control arms, you can almost buy the entire arm cheaper than buying the bushings and replacing them.

So I replaced the steering stabilizer a bit back. I am figuring I need shocks, springs, and from what it sounds like sway bars and bushings?

Can anyone point me to an online retailer, or some brands and specific parts? I know I can o the installations on my own with a lift (and a friend) but id'ing the right parts is my problem :-)

Thanks All!
