I figured i'd post this here for any of you looking to lift your wagons. The 90's Jeep cherokee coil is the exact same size and thickness as the front coils in the VW, but are 18" overall length (stock is 14") and have 8 coils instead of 6. Eyelet and base width are identical. I used these front and rear. In the front I cut off 1 coil from the XJ spring because it was a little too stiff running the full length, the stock rear coils have two eyelets however the base is the perfect size to fit the width of the XJ coil.
Sits 2" higher then stock, no other modifications necessary but will max out your shock in the rear. Will need a spring compressor to stuff them in the front but would be much easier with a bench-type compressor like mechanics have. You will need to jack your back end up pretty high in the rear but if you let the axle droop you can stuff them in and then slowly let her drop and adjust as necessary to get them in the right positon. I am trying to locate some 29" offroad tires and then I will have gained 4" of ground clearance. Suspension is much tighter but very comfortable especially for a little "light offroading"
Flex pic, currently sitting on 26" tires.
