Possible lift/suspension kits????

mrneen · **Posted:** Sat Jul 04, 2009 9:23 pm

I am on a budget and i would like to add some lift to my jeep. Currently it has roughly 83k miles on it. if anyone else has some suggestions... while sticking around the price of 400-500. feel free to add. thanks

I went with BDS. Got it for around $400, but it uses stock struts. You can get some Rancho Rsx17505 struts for cheap, just $74 from here:

So it would run you around $550-$600 I guess. I opted to go with BDS cause of their warranty, the good spring ratings (same as OME HD), and just to be different

.

For around the same prices you could get OME/Rancho lift. That lift will be the most suggested one. I wouldn't get the Rusty's because the spring rates are equal of stock, so they will sag quickly.

EDIT: The BDS kit is the same setup as the 4WD Hardware one, possibly the same exact thing?... If you can find a local BDS dealer, they can usually get it for you for a lot cheaper than it is online ($475 online).

You would be happy with rustys for the first year then the rear shocks will be done and the front will start to sag. Thats been my experience with rustys. But I really liked it for the first year. :lol:

OME/Rancho's, only way to go. Do it right the first time. (Filling in for Rev. Mudd!)

how much would that cost? and what does it come with and where?

If you want to go cheap I would go with the daystar spacer and then just get rancho shocks all aorund. All together it cost me about 450 to complete it.

not to beat a dead horse..

but that would just frag his shiney new shocks considering his stock coils have 80k on them

mrneen · **Posted:** Sun Jul 05, 2009 7:46 pm

who would sell OME

jeepkj02 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 05, 2009 7:54 pm

I don't know if I would get OME anymore, now that they are made in china. BDS has a higher spring rate and are made in the USA!! They offer free s&h when shipped to your nearest distributor. www.bds-suspension.com

Most likely going to get the front springs to replace my OME mediums. After my ARB, it sagged about 1/2-3/4". Sorry to all OME fans out there! But if you find some older OME springs made in Australia, go for it!
