Front Frame Coil Buckets for OEM Bumpstops, Jeep Wrangler TJ & LJ 1997-2006

The front frame coil buckets on a hard-used Jeep Wrangler TJ or LJ are a known weak point — they rust out, crack, and tear where the shock stem loads them. These Artec Front Frame Coil Buckets are a heavy-duty weld-in replacement that restores the front coil and shock mounts in one shot, and they double as conversion buckets for putting coil suspension under a leaf-sprung YJ or similar chassis. CAD-modeled from Chrysler data, they land in the factory location and keep the OEM bumpstop threading, so your factory jounce hardware threads right back in.

Features

• CNC laser-cut and bent from 3/16" steel
• Direct weld-in replacement for rusted, cracked, or torn factory coil buckets
• Retains the factory bumpstop threading — OEM jounce hardware reinstalls
• Gusseted between the coil bucket and shock mount for extra strength
• Includes a 2.0" OD DOM tubing piece for a factory-style shock stem mount
• Add shock tabs instead to run a clevis or bushing-style shock
• Also serves YJ leaf-to-coil front conversions; made in the USA

Sold as a pair for the Jeep Wrangler TJ and LJ (1997-2006) front frame. This is a fabrication job: the old buckets get cut off, the new ones get welded in, and Artec calls for welding and paint to finish — leave it to a competent welder if that is not you. Fixing the rear seats at the same time? Add the TJ Rear Coil Correction Kit. Going to a one-ton front axle, use the 1-ton swap offset coil buckets instead, and see the whole coil springs collection for related hardware.
