Hey brand new to forum, bought a tidy as kzj71 3months ago and going to replace the shocks but unsure of the suspension lift in her. The front has sagged a bit so wanting to replace front springs too but no mechanic can tell me what lift is in it, just get told to find a standard one, measure distance from hub to guard and compare with mine. But do you think i can find one???? Of course not.theres a good 70mm difference between front and rear? Any help be greatly appreciated
Cheers Nat

Hey there just post a pic up and let us know what size tires are on it and some people on here can take a guess and give you a rough estimate.

is all the lift in the coils? no body lift?

Yeah, put up a pic.

I have some factory springs that will fit your J71. They are out of my kzj78.

If you are looking for a lift, then I could help you choose I have been in a few different combos of springs/shocks in these cruisers. Depends what sort of purpose and ride you are after.

70mm difference between front and rear sounds like it may have standard ones in the front and HD in rear. This is how my one is currently, cos I always have about 300kgs of recovery gear and tree pulling stuff on-board.

Would love to give you a measurement but my truck is still apart...! I may be able to give you a bump-stop to axle clearance in a couple of days though.

Hey will try figure out how to post picture, it running 33s on 15in rims and its just suspension lift. Dont want to go any taller as has heaps of clearance and still rides pretty good. Just want to suss out front cos im catching my driver side guard ever so slightly and its pissing me off haha am wondering if it taller than 2inch cos it measures just over a metre tothe guard from the ground n mates tj jeep with 4inch lift and 1inch body lift on same tyres is the same height!!!
