Hey bro when you go to the junk yard do you ever see a Sunroof plus the tracking that goes to it? It has to be a 97 or 98.

sweet jeep. i have been thinking about doing the f>r swap for quite a while and there are so many ways to do it (springs, shocks, etc.) any idea how much you spent on the tbird springs and the 4 shocks? also do you think it is really necessary to get v8 front springs or would the i6 ones be fine?

if you want the back and front to be relatively even, you are gonna need the v8 springs. with the i6 springs the back will be lower than the front.

price wise, from the junkyard the t-bird springs cost me 10 bucks each and so did the v8 springs. the front shocks cost me 20 a piece and the rear shocks were 25 a piece. the expensive part is the adjustable trackbar that you are gonna need to get.

i've got a bb in there now, that would probably even things out if i cant find v8 springs for a good price. and back in january i put in new ball joints, tre's, ss, and track bar...guess i should have just spent the extra money on an adjustable one. buuut i just graduated and money is tight seeing as how i still don't have a job i guess this still won't be happening for a while

You drive a tj, we drive a zj. We have more power while you get more shower. We get the v8 while you get there too late. You have 2 doors well, we have 2 more. Ours costs a grand while yours has a price we cant stand.

well, you could. right now the thunderbird strut plate is sitting on the stock isolator. so you could put a spacer in there if you wanted.
