im gonna go ahead and order a set of OE coil springs from mopar from an '02
('pre' - lowered) because i want minimal height increase.
I met someone at a car race years ago with a stock 02 renegade running 255/70/16's no problem and i loved the stuffed look. since a friend at work has an 02 i am gonna use his vin # and order a set of these longer (3/4inch) springs.
ok, so two questions, (hopefully some one has tried this bfore)
1. im ordering using friends vin that was built pre april(so has the original,longer springs), now do ya think chrysler will just give me the current equivalent(lowered) or original size?
the guy at the parts counter here can not tell me and says when i order it its mine,(due to being special order) so i have been hesitant, i explained that i have bigger tires and now kj's have shorter springs that would not allow my bigger tires and dont want to be screwed here but he is not offering any help to make sure of what i will be getting. whatever happened to microfiche, geeez.
2. provided i sort the above issue out what shocks should i order ?
i want the ranchos, 17004 and 17505, but again am not sure if these ar right. or would i just order ranchos for an '02 . actually a light just came on, i will call rancho dealer here tomorrow and see if they give me the same part #'s for 02 and 03(or later), if they do, i guess that would just mean they have no knowledge of the spring height changeover between those model years and i will have to count on you guys who have maybe(hopefully) already investigated this.
any help would be appreciated..............thanx......paul.
