lekmedm - They ran me about 400 bucks. I also had ordered a brand new original equipment coil from a local dealer so I could send it to Deaver to match it dimensionally. That ran me another 85...

Hey Matt -

I couldn't find paperwork indicating the OME springs I had purchased. I probably included it in the box I sent to Tom (Phunkeydude) when he bought those OME springs from me. If his...

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.

Those look good, 07! I'm set to finish off my (second set) of stockers in a couple weeks when we're in Moab again, so these are on my list! Glad to hear their customer service is so good.

Wow - that is a thing of beauty! My boss has an '07 WK - he'll be quite jealous when I show him the pics of your rig. Glad to see SL got rid of the brackets - you'll never know how frustrating it...

Omelet - how did the install go? Looking forward to pictures! Has SL modified the rear lower control arm brackets? I know there was some talk on that.

It's been a while since I've checked in,...

I've tried this. I tried installing OME med-duty springs after I loaded up the front end with a winch and bumper (back when Ross was making them). We couldn't even get the passenger side strut back...

I agree about sticking with IFS on the XK. The risk, even if it turns out well, is a vehicle that doesn't handle or ride as well, and is seriously devalued for everyone but a very select buyer. ...

Hey guys - I did look into the solid axle swap in great detail a while back. Here's a writup I did that covers most of the issues, though more would likely be discovered during the process.

I...

You said it! I really do like the luxury of my Commander - and we bought it originally when our daughter was born to have a safe, big vehicle around her (as opposed to the '98 Audi A4 we had at the...

You're right, 06 - it does pretty dang good with QDII. I agree with you on the spacer lift issue as well. But since the XK is so low to begin with, the bigger tires fitted and made possible by a...

As Mike said, there's really no point in a solid axle swap, unless you simply want to be the first on Earth (that I know of) to do it. I've looked into it in great detail along with the owner of a...

Good to know, Mike. I have new BDS lower control arms still in the box, but I've been hesitant to install them until I can eliminate the upper control arm brackets as well. I haven't looked for BDS...

The issue with the rear tires rubbing is definitely with the lift. The rear control arms are only slightly downward from the mount to the axle when the Jeep is in a flat, static position. When the...

Awesome! One of the most appealing things about the XK for me is taking it where it was never intended to go. And I love the occasional raised eyebrows of people who show up to a place where I...

A curious thing about those new tires...

I bought a heat gun and some plastic rivets to pull the front fender liners out and I intended to bend the pinch weld over, reshape the liners, etc. I...

We took advantage of the incredible weather and spent the weekend in Moab running on Hell's Revenge (always a favorite) and Moab Rim.

My brother climbing a step, my boss' GC in the background...

I've stayed with the 32's since I bought them with only 50 miles on them a year and a half ago and they're not really wearing out. So I've actually had those taken off the Rubi rims and have...

I think the SSR's are worth the money. I didn't think they ride stiffer than stock. My seat of the pants feel between my XK and my wife's - mine rides better, more cadillac-ish. Her's has the side...

Superacerc - with a spacer lift, I would suggest leaving the sway bar connected until you get the Jeepin By Al UCA's and balljoints. With the typical spacer lift, the upper balljoint will reach its...

Hey guys - a little late to the party - normal for me. I've never removed the rear sway bar for exactly the reasons noted earlier in this thread. I was afraid the rear springs would literally drop...

Thanks, Robby - I'm already at about 5" total lift on the front. If I ever remove the winch and bumper, I'd be about 6.5+ - way too much. But without my custom coils, that 1.5" kit of yours would...

Apparently not! Nice to be here. It has that "new forum" smell.

Mine is a combination of sorts - the rear is as Superlift designed it with the SSR remote res shocks. A bit overkill on those but they work beautifully. The front is Superlift with coils made by...

It was just a matter of time before I found you fine people.
