Have any of you looked at the prices of RockJock's for the JK? The front is around 6K..just for the front!!!! How do these JK owners afford crap like that?!?!
Obviously they are not like me that has a wife who carries the balls around in her purse (I'll admit, I'm whooped :)
Lmao at cricket.....dude dont feel bad I have my xk stuff shipped to matts so my fiance wont find out LOL
Matt - going back a few posts...
As I recall I had the OME992 springs, but I think I can dig up the paperwork and find out for sure.
I would appreciate that. Thanks! :)
Damnit i'm an idiot. The previous post with spring specs was the REAR springs (DOH!).
OME990 = WK MD = XK LD = 14.56" free height , 8.9 coils, 530 lbf/in, 18mm wire
OME991 = WK HD = XK MD = 14.37" free height, 8.9 coils, 630 lbf/in, 19mm wire
OE Spring rate = 440 lbf/in
OME990 with 1 coil removed:
12.92" free height, 7.9 coils, 600 lbf/in
OME991 with 1 coil removed:
12.76" free height, 7.9 coils, 710 lbf/in
According to Phunkydude's garage thread, he had the OME991's.... which makes sense why the ride sucked with 1 coil removed! 710 lbf/in spring rate :eek: My OME HD are firm enough at 630...
So, keeping with the theme, I think im going to try the OME990's unless kmax confirms that phunky's garage thread is wrong and they used the OME990s.

I'll just have to decide how much I want to cut off. With the 5.7L XK, I believe the lift achieved from the OME990 springs is under 2", so I may try cutting 1/2 coil off instead (which also should account for the preload spacer that comes with the superlift):
OME990 with 1/2 coil removed:
13.74" free height, 8.4 coils, 560 lbf/in
Or maybe intall the OME990s uncut to get a baseline to work with first. That's what i'll probably end up doing...
