Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Another coilover question

Is anyone running coilovers on just the front? I'm looking to upgrade my 3" FT ultimate and run 37's. I was thinking I could run 4" coils on the rear and coilovers on the front until I could afford the rear. Will it work? What problems will I be facing?

I had coilovers on just the front for a short time while I saved the coin to do coilovers on the rear too. I had Currie springs in the rear and the system worked great together! You will have no issues, except for one. Once you drive your Jeep with coilovers on the front, you are going to want them on the back too! Here is a pic of mine with the setup you are asking about...

I like how the front coilovers give you another 2" when you step on the gas leaving the light...
