XJ front springs vs. TJ front springs

[OWEN]

Are they the same? I thought so, at least dimensionally (Outer diameter). I was looking at Ballistic Fabrication coil spring mounts and they say they are designed to work with a "TJ Front 5.5" OD spring." I measured the stock XJ springs I have and they are 5". I thought that they were the same as TJ fronts. Or maybe they are referring to an aftermarket spring?

Stock xj springs is 1in lift on tjs. Stock tj springs in a xj is lowering a in.

Stock xj springs is 1in lift on tjs. Stock tj springs in a xj is lowering a in.

I know this to be true for my 4-banger. As far as width, I'm pretty sure they are the same. XJ springs are a higher tension, but it seems to me to be about the same as Rubicon front springs (both XJ fronts, and Rubicon springs would have lifted my 2.5L about an inch).


But I am the farthest thing from a "Jeep god"
