Old Man Emu 2934 Lift Front Coil Springs for 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ V8

Vehicle Fitment

• 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ, All Trims - Base, Laredo, SE, Limited, Orvis, TSi), 5.2L V8

Fitment Notes

• Front coil spring set only. Fits the ZJ Grand Cherokee equipped with the 5.2L V8 engine exclusively. Does not fit ZJ models with the 4.0L I6 - see OME 2930 for the 4.0L I6 application.
• Does not fit the WJ Grand Cherokee (1999-2004) or the WK/WK2 Grand Cherokee (2005+).
• These springs provide a light-to-medium load lift of approximately 0.75-1.0 inch over stock. Lift height will vary based on vehicle load, accessories, and condition of remaining suspension components.
• For best results, pair with Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport front shock absorbers designed for the ZJ platform.
• A 4-wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

Features

• Provides approximately 0.75-1.0 inch of front lift over stock ride height, improving ground clearance and stance for light-to-medium load applications (0-90 kg / 0-198 lbs additional front load).
• Manufactured from X5K micro-alloyed spring steel for superior strength, fatigue resistance, and long-term durability over the OEM spring.
• Double scragged - processed before and after shot peening - to relieve residual stress in the steel and prevent sagging throughout the spring's service life.
• Formed on computer-precision mandrels to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and spring rate across every unit produced.
• Spring end configurations machined to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing a clean drop-in fitment with no modification required.
• Variable free height between the A and B springs (510mm / 500mm) accounts for factory left-to-right lean correction common to the ZJ platform.
• Designed with ride control as the primary objective - lift height is a functional benefit of the improved spring rate, not the primary engineering goal.
• Finished in durable, hard-wearing black powder coat for long-term corrosion and weather resistance.
• Designed and manufactured in Australia by Old Man Emu (ARB) with over 45 years of 4WD suspension engineering expertise.

Product Description

The Old Man Emu 2934 is a front coil spring set engineered specifically for the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ equipped with the 5.2L V8 engine. Designed around Old Man Emu's core suspension philosophy - prioritizing ride control and load-carrying improvement over raw ride height - the 2934 springs deliver approximately 0.75 to 1.0 inch of additional front lift as a natural result of their improved spring rate over stock. At 160 lbf/in versus the OEM rate of approximately 140 lbs/in, these springs are rated for light-to-medium additional front load in the range of 0 to 90 kg (0-198 lbs), making them ideal for ZJ owners who run a moderate build with standard bumpers, lighting bars, or moderate overlanding gear up front.

Each spring is produced from X5K micro-alloyed spring steel, double scragged before and after shot peening to eliminate residual stress and safeguard against long-term sagging. The A and B springs are produced with intentionally different free heights - 510mm and 500mm respectively - to account for the factory cross-vehicle lean that is common in the ZJ platform, helping ensure a level stance after installation. Both springs are formed on computer-precision mandrels and finished with end configurations that match factory mounting points exactly, resulting in a direct, modification-free swap with no cutting or fabrication required.

For a fully integrated suspension upgrade, the OME 2934 front springs should be paired with Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport shock absorbers valved specifically for the ZJ application. A 4-wheel alignment is strongly recommended following installation. ZJ owners with the 4.0L I6 engine should note that the 2934 is designed for the 5.2L V8 - the heavier V8 engine's front weight requires the 2934's specific spring geometry and rate. For the 4.0L I6-equipped ZJ, see part number OME 2930 or 2933 depending on desired load rating.
