How much is this lift supposed to cost?

For the CRD it is just under $800.00 from AllJs...includes the four springs and 2 struts/2shocks (the Long Travel Ones). For a gasser you can shop around for different springs (Med or HD)...

All I can say is that the OME Struts/Shocks really helped out in the ride department.

Thanks Guys!

Would the Light Spring work for me if I plan on retaining the factory bumper? What about Brush/Grill guard?

Thanks

Aaron

pretty much everyone will say med and some will say HD and I plan on going HD when I buy mine but i also have a metal bumper

Not worth doing if you don't go at least mediums. IMHO.

Well,

I dont every really plan on doing any major off roading.........would the Rusty's coil kit be the way to go($465)?

No just go with the OMEs if you want to save a bit of coin and not go all OME then shop around for springs should be $200 or so for them and then you can go with rancho shocks/struts etc and still have a great ride and be better in the long run. End up with about the same price as Rustys but better quality springs/ shocks since Rustys shocks do not fit well.

The wife has this lift on her '03 KJ ,DD with all OE bumpers and skids with a home built tranny skid
Med springs ride 10X better than stock with ~35k on it
with Rancho struts and OME shocks

I got the pcs. from 2 places
springs and shocks from Rustys Offroad
100 a pair for springs and ,IIRC, $40 each for the shocks
so what $280 + shipping
then I got the struts from All J's
$80 each + shipping
so what
$440 + shipping total cost
you can fit 245/75's on OE wheels
with some slight trim/heat gun work and pound the pinch
That should cover it all

Do you use direct replacement Rancho Struts and shocks or would you use longer ones with the OME springs?

Thanks

Where in CO are you? The LOST Rockies guys can surely help you out, they a great group of people. You should stop by there forum on this site.

Rancho struts for the front are just the regular for a Liberty RSX 17505 and rears are the RSX 17004 these are listed for a Dakato pickup 4WD I think 97 to 04 ??

This is where I got my OME lift. I got the HD coils, even though currently my bumpers, etc. are still OE. Down the road I plan on ARB Bull Bar on front & something else for the rear. I am very happy with this lift - spend the extra couple of bucks!

How's the ride with the HD setup and no ARB? Will it just sit higher with HD springs vs. med or light? I want to get the HD too for the long-term but don't want to float off the road when I hit a pothole at 50...if that's even possible. Roads in Detroit are horrible. They may even rival some mounds people 4-wheel on

Some say the HDs are too rough but not sure if they even ever rode in one so equipped? ARB suggests mediums unless you are putting on a bumper and winch, WITH THAT SAID I ran mine for a couple of weeks and even went from Toledo to Orlando before the bumper was installed and it done fine. Out on the highway it rides as good as anything out there. Driving over Toledos holes, I mean streets it does just as good, I can take railroad track faster now than when stock
USMARINE1171 You are not that far away if you are in detroit so if you want to go for a ride let me know before you choose

Thanks for the offer Tom. That's good to know it was still pretty sturdy. I'll have to shoot you a message before I buy the HD setup, but it's gonna take me a couple months for my finances to recover after the wheels and rims. The HD setup definitely sounds like a better long-term investment.

I have not had any problems with my HD's. I like the stiffer ride and it's not too bad. I don't "feel" anything when I hit holes, etc. so I don't foresee any issues with floating off the road (unintentionally).

When I asked this question before, ARBSeth told me to go with Light springs (model 925, I believe) springs up front and Medium in the rear (947). Stock bumper here. No plans to go heavier.

He told me the same thing and that's what I'm running.

The wife and I took the "back way" to the store yesterday which involved going over whoopdie-doo's on what is basically an ATV trail through soft sand. The light front springs handle the whoops real well. There is no excessive bouncing like there was with stock suspension. In fact, there was no bouncing at all, just a nice smooth ride.

At first I was leary of going with the light front springs. But, the ride is much better than stock without being stiff. I don't even have to slow down for the drain throughs across the paved roads like I did with the stock suspension.

If you have no plans to opt for a heavier bumper or winch, the light/medium combo does work well.
