so i have a 2005 black renegade ome hard springs front and back racnchos in the front and ome shocks in the back and just put 265/70/16's on moabs on and wanted more lift after 6 months of the springs being put on. i have top plates and 2 1/2" front and rear spacers sitting around that i would like to have thrown on for more lift is that a good or bad idea? also have no idea who makes the spacer lift? that i bought used from some one last year on ebay that i never used and went smart the first time. thanks brian |

First welcome to LOST Second, not sure what you mean about hard springs? Third, not being a jerk but read some on here about what you are thinking about doing Fourth, I'll just say its a BAD idea.....................using the 2.5 inch spacers that is, real bad Nothing more

More than likely you have the 927s front, and 948s in the rear Whatever they are you can not add them ( the spacers) to the lift, you'll be way too high and the CVs will hate you. Add the top spacer and a 3 ring clevis to the front, and another top isolater on each side in the rear and be done |

You can run two extra isolators on each side in the rear A top plate and 3 ring clevis will add another inch or so to your existing lift |

ALWAYS listen to tom, He helped me a year ago this month when my front end was sagging so badly! I recently bought spacers and conduit nuts from him ( they are not installed yet). He knows his way around the suspension of a KJ I must say! |
