Rear lift.. brainstorming ideas...

[criket]

Hmm...all very valid points. Thanks man!!! I'll throw on the Monroes this weekend hopefully and see where I sit. then I'll decide what to do next. The OME up front sounds good too.

[Matt]

Good plan man. Glad we could help.... you should give us the opportunity to help you out here more often.


On another note... my rear OME HD springs should be arriving today (tomorrow at the latest). So I should have an update by Friday evening.... I'm going to take a measurement with normal shocks and then with the oem replacement load levellers before ordering the F150 version. Actually I may even drive around with the stock shocks for a while just to break in the springs (as long as the rear doesn't sit too low)

I've ordered the longer Monroe's as you and Sal have and I'm thinking that I might go with the OME MD rear spring route coupled with the long Monroe's. Of course, I will remove the rear spacer lift. I have the V6 so I can't tow that much or haul that much anyway.

For the front, I was thinking to leave the spacer lift and get the small spacer from JBA an adding to it. This way, the jeep will be closer to level and it'll probably have a little rake to it which isn't bad.


Your original post got me to thinking about all this. Keep us posted man. Thanks.

Dude where you been man? I sent you a PM months ago and had AJ text you. Let us know how the shocks work out I'm loving mine.

My rear OME HD springs are finally "out for delivery". Hopefully ill have a chance to put them in Friday or Saturday morning.

[criket]

Awesome! Take some pics of course. Ya know, there's soemthing about watching your order go through the delivery process that makes one giddy. IDK, maybe I'm the only one, lol.

Side note. I installed my Monroes (longer ones) and it did lift the rear. THe ride is soooo much better. I'll probably order OME front setup to bring it back to level. I'll wait for the Monroes to settle and see where I'm at.

[Matt]

Can't wait to put those suckers on...

[Matt]

Ok... put the rear HD springs on...

3/4 Tank of gas; measured from ground to fender

START (RC Lift + OEM Load Levelers)
= 36 5/8"

FINISH (OME HD + OEM Load Levelers)
= 36 1/2"

RESULT
I actually lost about 1/8" and that's without the springs settling at all.... So it looks like I'll be putting on the F150 load levelers!

I can't believe you lost height..

[Sal-XK]

I can't believe you lost height..

The first measurement had the RC lift on the second didn't have them on.

[Matt]

The first measurement had the RC lift on the second didn't have them on.

But I replaced the RC lift with the OME HD 2" lift spring. I'm a bit surprised that I lost height as well...
