So I just installed an OME 1.5 lift, got exactly that out of it. I am about 1.25 or so high in the rear. My thought was to install a JBA strut spacer and clevis up from there to get it level and help clear the 255/70's as I am rubbing a bit on the inner plastic and a bit on pinch welds, would rather not pound if I dont need to....... Solid plan or am I missing something. I am running stock UCAs. Should I expect clearance issues? If so during normal driving or flex situations? Appreciate any thoughts.

What springs did you use, should of gotten more than 1.5 inches of lift over new stock height
But yes you can install a top plate which will give you 1/2 inch of height
How much do you have to raise the front to level it out?

926, front is sitting at 20.25. 1-1.25 is what it needs to level if you measure center wheel to fender lip. If i measure from the rock rails it's more like 1.5", pretty hard rake.... I went with medium springs because I have no intention of an ARB, I was also surprised I didn't get more out of it but then again the jeep only had 46k miles on it so maybe the springs weren't that weak?? Thoughts?

Should of went with the 927s even if you wasn't going with an aftermarket bumper
everyone done here uses 927s
1/4 inch Top plate will give you 1/2 inch of height
3/8 inch of clevis will give you 3/4 of an inch
so theres your 1.25 inches of extra lift
