2002 'PRE' - LOWERED SPRING PART #

[f1paul]

sumbuddy pleeaassee help !!!!!!

anybody with a 2002 'PRE' - lowered kj ,with off-road and towing package, preferably, please post or P.M. your V.I.N. so some of us shorties with the lowered lib's can order your coils and stand tall amongst you. (and also to be able to fit 255/70/16's on our trucks.)

CHRYSLER or my dealer's parts dept. are no help in finding this part # for me and tell me my only option is to find somebody with the taller original coils and get the v.i.n # and order off of that.
(They also go on to tell me that if jeep took them off the kj their probably was a reason and that i shouldn't tamper....blah...blahh)

I am dying to move up to a 255 tire but am waiting to get these coils so i dont rip apart my fenderwells.

i imagine that a 2002 renegade would be ideal as it would have the off-road and towing groups. (i imagine these would be the stiffest ones)

Can't help you on the part # but nice to see a fellow Torontonian on here.

ANYBODY

Is there nobody on here that owns an early 2002 model ?????

I guess i will have to go to plan 'b' and measure LLL on any used 2002's i see for sale on dealers lots then get the vin on one of those....i dunno

U the man Bennett

hey bennett, thanks a lot for that pic........ \/

what i'm thinking is.......looking at the skinny 215/70/16 prescribed for that model maybe it was a four cylinder or something ???

anyway, u have given me an idea...............

what i am amazed at is that their is a sticker on our jeeps that tell the build date on it. where can i find this sticker and do you also know, What is the build date that they started putting shorter springs in . if i know where to find that sticker and i know what build date to look for i can scour the used car lots for an'02 renegade(to make sure i get the tallest,stiffest offered) and jot down the v.i.n. # of one i find built before the date of change.

that sticker is located on the drivers side door....open it, and there it is...
as for the cut off date on prelowered, anything prior to april 2, 2002 is prelowered...anything built on or after that is lowered...

I have the V6, and mine came with that tire size.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Same here... V6, 215s

 

[-=JoN=-]

the 215's i think only came in the sport trim..i have the thicker one's on the ltd.....(235 i think...)

 

[yoda13]

I put 235s on when I replaced the stock tires.

 

[SRotblat]

technically mine is a sport with the trim upgrade to Coumbia and I've got 235s...maybe its part of the upgraded trim..

 

[f1paul]

Yeah, right in the drivers door, wow , i never paused to ever notice that our jeeps had a birthdate written on them, thanks silverlib2k2 for opening my eyes for me.....duhh...

All you other dudes out there, sorry no disrespect if taken i just assumed that a 215 tire would have to mean a 4cyl. for some reason.
mine is a '03 sport(rockymtn.package, or freedom edition fer all you americans) that came with 235's and these even look too small for the jeep. anyways, thanks all for the help....

Course of action now is to find that '02 renegade on some dealers lot and get a V.I.N#.


EDIT.... HOLY SHIT, i was so excited after reading the responses to this post i went to tirerack.com ](*,) to look at 255/65/17 tires ](*,) and guess what ?
Its not a very popular size ](*,) ,there are only three options of tire i have in that size, all junk. ](*,)

hey SRotblat......wanna trade your 16" for some pristine 6 spoke graphite 17".

You won't be able to fit 255/70R16's. They will rub alot. 245/70R16's are a perfect fit with the springs from an early KJ with the off road group and tow package.
