I did search, but our search sucks. Its a quick question anyways. How many chrysler rear iso's do I need for my OME HD rear springs to equal my front Franky (franky lift, not the reg ol OME) I wanna say 2 per side, but I'm not sure if this will bring it level, I want the to sit level now, then maybe have to have to add to the rear once I pop the bumper on. Thanks |

I just went with the Frankenlift II Premium with OME HD's all the way around. When it was first lifted, it was way higher in the front. After a month of settling, and adding the Skink Super Sliders and Westin brush guard, it sits level with no extra isolators. Looks like it may have needed 1 extra set of isolators without the extra weight. The extra weight also made it ride better. Probably didn't have quite enough weight with the HD suspension. How much weight is your bumper going to add after you take off the factory bumper? My brush guard added about 40 lbs up front the the Line-X'd sliders added about 40-50 lbs each on the sides. |

I'm either going with JHcrash's bumper or ARB. I'll currently have my front mount winch on there |

theres a big difference between those two, JHcrash's weighs around 110# and ARB is around 80-85# |

Has anybody weighed the front bumper so we know how much weight the bumpers add? |

which one? JR said that his weighed 110# and I remember reading the weight of ARB from a post of ARBSeths but I cant remember the weight 100% it was close to what I said though |

I was actually wondering about the weight of the stock bumper so a little math could figure out the increase in weight. |

Either way, it'll add weight to the front making my question of how my isos i need still valid.....so how many ya'll got? I have 1 so far WITH a bumper |

Either way, it'll add weight to the front making my question of how my isos i need still valid.....so how many ya'll got? I have 1 so far WITH a bumper When we lifted mine with a FLIIP with HD OME's all around 1 1/2 months ago, I was wondering if 2 extra isolators would be enough. It settled to where it looked like it needed 1 extra after a month. With a couple more weeks and the brush guard and Super Skinks, it's settled very close to level. The brush guard weighs about 40#. The Super Skinks probably weigh around 45# each with the Line-x. I would think that my fiberglass hood is lighter than stock, but I've never weighed either. If you're going with the FLIIP, which I highly recommend, I would get 2 extra sets. They're cheap compared to the cost of the lift and arms. Replace your old isolators with one of the sets when you do the lift because they're probably dry rotted like mine were. If you aren't adding any weight to the front, you'll probably want 1 extra in the rear. Once it settles in the front it should be really close to level. Mine settled a couple inches. You're probably going to need to do a clevis after adding one of those bumpers with weight increase you're talking about. An extra 40# on the front of mine made about 1/2" difference. |
