Jeep spring lifts

[Judah Peterson]

I've been looking into doing a 4 inch lift on my 05 Jetta wagon, what springs are going to be best regarding jeep or other brands

All 4 inch lifted Golfs do is look ridiculous, wear out driveshafts, handle like crap, and look ridiculous. Look up ID Parts "Beef on a beer budget" spring package for A4s that gives a more useful inch or two of lift.

I mean.... it's kinda cool. Not something you see every day and it stands out. Would I do mine differently? Yes, but to each their own.

Now this is definitely something I would do similar. Straight up gorgeous! However, you pretty much can't do a beetle wrong. Still a killer car, and the white?? 🤌

I will say however Judah at 4" you have to delete the sway bar AFAIK. Which leads to even worse handling. Maybe you could elongate the drop links but idk.

i woulda done a 4" jeep lift if it were available on the 2010 mkvs

I have the jeep spring lift on my 2002 TDI Beetle, about 4" lift, driving it daily for 2 years with no drive line issues and stock sway bay installed. Built it because I lived on a dirt road and already broke 1 oil pan when it was stock height,just need to put on some skid plates.

Roads around Tintah ain't that bad, used to run a Golf 4 TDI all over the back roads around Starbuck, only mods were the "Beef on a beer budget" VR6 and wagon springs from ID Parts and their aluminum bash plate- why mess with Jeep springs when OEM VW ones give 2" lift and are so cheap?

This looks like the beef on a budget

because it's 4" so you get 2 more inches of badass

because it's 4" so you get 2 more inches of badass

And it's still not a Jeep.
