Back tires rub bad

[UAE Jeep]

Ok do you know the part number for the Bilstein 5100 rear shocks?
is it: F4-BE5-6457-H5-bilstein

Also which front shocks should i use then? I want something stiff

I'll also try and post some new/clean pics of the spring so you can check if they are fuct or not.... trying to save a bit of cash here as this is our second jeep and we only use it in winter.

Cheers

I think your spring has seen better days. It looks like it wasn't compressed properly to remove and install it which is why you have that 2nd from the bottom coil curled upwards. It must rub on itself alot when the wheel is on and on the ground. I think it may be a matter of time for that spring to actually break.

That spring is broken. Not GONNA break. Broken.

thanks

That spring looks really messed up. Also, it does have the front sway bar on right? You mentioned it being wobbly. A bad alignment would make it steer and feel funny too. These must be aligned right before they feel right. IMO those rear springs look like the OEM springs.

This one is. Maybe not broken as say in two pieces but it is bent to hell there on the bottom. Plus that springs looks really wrong. The coils are WAY too far apart for a front spring.
You never answered my question either, are you running a front sway bar or not? Honestly, I'd be scared to drive that.

Ok that pic shows that the bottom of the coil is almost touching not good. How do the rear coils look?
Should i get new coils and new shocks all together?
I want something really stiff for the desert, so please suggest some heavy duty front and rear coils and shocks.

I'm not sure about the front sway bar......

dam i just looked at how much the 4" lift kit would be for my jeep and it's alot man! I really want it ha ha

If i go with bilstein shocks & OME springs i'll only get about 2.5" lift right?? then if i add top plate spacer and rear isolators i can get more lift... what else do i need to do to get about 3.75 or 4" lift withouth having to change major expensive parts?

Can i go for the jeeping by al 4" rear spring coils and OME/bilstein front? Whats the spring rate for the rear coils??

 

[rockymountain]

I'm not being mean but you better get sure about the front sway bar. If you had some hack do the lift maybe he took it off. I still don't see a swaybar in any of your pics. And holy CRAP wobbly would be an understatement if it wasn't on there and you were riding in the desert.

every answer so far is right here:

hey do you guys think the front coils are stacking because i dont have any front extended bumpstops??? I lost my stock ones.

What is a stiffer shock Bilstien 5100 series or 6 series ( Blue and yellow ) or OME?

Also for the rear bumpstops can i purchase this

Those prices are per pair of bump stops.
And yes, you could use those top plates to add an additional ½ inch of lift.
But I'd only be adding those if you now have new front coil springs installed!

Now having said that, if you are seriously considering buying a JK, then don't bother buying those parts.
May as well just invest money into the JK!

Cool thanks so for the front and rear bumpstops its a pair? just to be sure cause im in dubai and shipping time is long... so dont want to get half the quantities

I might change the front coils cause they look bent and everyone saying its gonna break soon the back ones look fine.
So if and when i do the front i might as well put new shocks in and would like something stiff.
Top plate spacer will be added if i change the coils as you mentioned thanks.

Can't get the JK now will have to wait over a year so might as well put some money into the KJ also my wife will be using as a daily ride to work and back.

Cool well its starting to get ABIT cooler here 41 degrees celcuis during the day so i need to put my order in and get my KJ ready for the desert and some mild rocky terrain
