Expert Answers about Vehicle Suspension
Will Air Bags Fit on a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 2 Inch Suspension Lift- You would have to have the vehicle return to stock height in order to use the Coil-Rite system, # F4157, because of the extra space from the lift. There are no spacers for the Coil-Rite systems to adapter to the lift on the vehicle.
What you may want to look at is a Timbren system, # TJFTJ, and added a couple of spacers per side, # A25723-90AH00, which is a 1 inch spacer. For 2 inches on each side you would need 4 total. The Timbren system will work to level the vehicle, especially when unde

- Suspension Enhancement to Level a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- Installing suspension enhancement will help to keep your vehicle level when it is loaded whether it be on just one side or throughout the vehicle. Since you are primarily having issues on the right side I recommend adding air bags in the rear using # AL60754. Air bags have more adjustability than springs alone so you can customize the amount of air to level the vehicle accordingly.
For the front, as long as you have 4 wheel drive (there is no front option for 2 wheel drive models) I recommen

- Ability of Coil Sumo Springs # CSS-1145R to Raise Ride Height of 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- The Coil SumoSprings you mentioned, part # CSS-1145R will not change the ride height of your Grand Cherokee. They are meant to smooth the ride and help eliminate some sag caused by carrying heavy loads in the cargo area.
In other words, the SumoSprings will not lift the vehicle, but will help resist against sag when the vehicle is under load.
Various aftermarket lift kits are available in different heights. I would recommend doing a Google search on a lift kit for 2012 Grand Cherokee.

- Firestone Coil-Rite Suspension for 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2 Inch Lifted Coil Springs
- Because of the 2 inch taller aftermarket springs, the F4157 would not work as the air bags would not be tall enough.
I spoke with my representative at Firestone, who tells me that there are coil bags that should fit your springs, but that there is not a complete kit available. Also, because assembling a kit from separate parts would be required, there would be no warranty coverage because Firestone has not tested the bags with those springs.
The air bags they recommended are the same dia

- Air Bag Suspension Versus Weight Distribution for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing 400 lb TW Camper
- An air suspension system like the Air Lift Helper Springs you referenced is primarily designed to suspend the weight of anything carried on the vehicle, and although they would indeed eliminate the sag you are experiencing, the tongue weight of the trailer applied to the rear axle of your Grand Cherokee would lower the amount of the vehicle weight applied to the front axle. This is potentially dangerous because shifting too much weight away from the front axle of the vehicle can cause diminished

- The Timbren Heavy-Duty Front or Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TJRC01, does come with a spacer designed to adjust ride height which will take up some of the space created by the 2 inch lift. However, you will most likely need to use spacers as well. We have 1 inch spacers, # A25723-90AH00.

- How Do I Install Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancment System TJRL4 on a 2007 Jeep Liberty
- There are no brackets needed for this kit. The rubber Aeon spring fits into the pre-existing bump stop cup. It is made to be a very tight fit. The factory bump-stop is there to cushion the blow of anny sudden or over-loaded suspension travel. As such it needs to be held firmly in place and not allowed any wiggle room. Twist the spring as you push it up to make sure it is firmly seated in the cup, and then bolt it into place.
