TJ Coilovers

Caught the Bug
So, I came across an old thread that discussed coiloverson TJs. Eddie pointed out that it could be tough to get Coilovers right on a TJ, but I'm curious if anyone has done it and had successes or failures installing them. On road drivability and comfort seem to be pluses forcoilovers, while also superior off-road handling while traveling fast and the slower pace of rock crawling. What are the downsides.

I'm looking at the Gen-Right Elite Coilover package. But I'm open to suggestions, of course.

Cool. Now we're getting somewhere.

If I stick with the stock wheelbase, will the on road or off road characteristics be bad? Or is it just an issue of it being great, but could be better? And because I read where Eddie said getting Coilovers wrong on a TJ can be a problem, but he didn't expand on the thought.

I'd love to do the 100" wheel base, but that would set me back a bit, I think.

The longer the wheel base the lees choppy feel, and at 100 is considered the perfect all all around wheelbase,better clinbing ability more stable.

But, then you're getting into a whole different ball park in the $$ department, too. Right? The GenRight Elite system is $2500 less than the Legend system. Though, I guess I was going to have to change the drive shafts and exhaust systems anyway.

Well, I said from the time I bought the jeep that I didn't want to go cheap and be stuck with some shitty parts that I'd have to replace multiple times. And the thought of having a ride that's good on and off road is probably worth the money.

It is possible to get coilovers right on a TJ, well LJ in my case. Hard to describe the difference between custom suspension and a high quality lift kit.

Thanks. That looks like an incredible setup.
