H&R 1” lift

[bobthetj03]

I have the H&R springs, a 1/2" body lift and a 3/4" spring spacer in the front.

The perfect recipe for 31's, IMO. You shouldn't have to worry about track bars, or drive line vibes with this setup.

What's with these morons? Don't they ever check pricing of other online retailers?

Wondering...for 1" why not just get it with a 1" BL and save some coin. The look at the well will be the same.

Honestly I’ve never liked the idea of a body lift when I could just upgrade my suspension. It’s a 17 year old vehicle so I might as well.

Can I get a couple of pics of your rig?

More and more will recommend the Rancho 5000x rather than the Bilstein 5100.

Why not Fox shocks?

Why not Fox shocks?

Out of the box, the valving is said to be pretty harsh for a TJ. Re-valving is spendy. And Foxes cost more than most are willing to spend.

 

[astjp2]

Yeah, I like to just do it once now. I have done the crappy shock thing and I think that good shocks are worth more than any other mod I can do to my jeep. I also think that the fatigue from running a rough riding vehicle is sucks as I am getting older...

here is mine 2" H&r with a 2" spacer in front and 1.75 in back (oem spacer removed so deduct 1/2" for that) 31 x 10.5 duratracs on 15" ar23 rims.

That looks great. I have a 04 in the same color. I am still plotting my suspension.

I have installed H&H springs on cars and they are of very good quality from my experience. Heard nothing but good reviews on the Jeep stuff.

Really good looking Jeep. I didn’t know they came in 2” springs.

Love it and you gotta love the Swampers. So you have just the 1” springs and the 5100s.

 

[EJD]

I also have the 1" H&R's/RS5000X's combo and 31's. I highly recommend.

looking back you are correct, the springs were 1" lift and I added about another inch with the spring pucks leveling it out.

@StG58 has the H&R 1" springs and Bilstein 5100s. Hopefully he'll see this and chime in. Last I heard though, he loves it!

What are the spring rates and free lengths on the H&R coils?

Yup, installed them awhile ago on my SE and love'm. There's an install thread here someplace with pictures, measurements and details. I'll see if I can find it again.

I got right at 1-1/2" of lift front and rear. Let me look at my notes to see if I can find the spring free lengths. H&R doesn't release spring rates. I could attempt to calculate that, if there's enough interest.

The H&R / Bilstein combination works extraordinarily well, EXCEPT for thing like washboard roads. High frequency small events are magnified by this combination.

I'm curious as to why H&R over Old Man Emu's lower lift springs.

I'm going to guess lower price.

Got it. ~$250 for all four.
