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 :banghead:

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!
