1.5 inch OME from JBA

I've gotten the rear springs and all shocks and struts, on a 1.5 inch lift do I reuse the stock strut springs or am I missing them? Thanks! :mrgreen:

Is this the lift you bought?

If this is the lift you got, then it is supposed to come with 4 new lift springs.... I would contact the company you bought them from.

Thanks! I emailed Marlin with JBA, was just a stock issue. He had to have ARB send the front springs so the shipping time was different. It's all installed and looks so much better now!

Don't forget to add your 1/2" Clevis spacer.
1/4" top of the strut plate.
And then the two added (three total per side) upper rear coil isolators!

That's 2.75" in front and 2.5" in the rear.

WAY too much lift if not getting JBA UCAs, plus only use a 3/8 inch clevis NOT 1/2 inch on OME springs
With OME 927s in front and 1/2 inch clevis , that alone is 3.5 inches , then another 1/2 inch from the 1/4 inch top plate would be 4 inches
Even with the JBA UCAs going to have a lot of UCA/spring contact at that height

So a 2.75" lift in the front is WAY too much lift without the use of custom UCA's ??

No thats not what I posted , what White posted would be too much lift, since he had stated that you could use a 1/2 inch clevis and a 1/4 inch top plate.
IF you did that you would have 4 inches of lift not 2.75 as he posted. OME 927 would give you 2.5 inches of lift over new stock height, add one inch from the 1/2 inch clevis so now you have 3.5 inches, next adding his 1/4 inch top plate for another 1/2 inch lift so he would have 4 inches of lift/
When you get to 3 inches you really need to start looking at the JBA UCA's , you can get by beow that although they are a great upgrade

Hi Tom, I installed the OME 927's and got 1.5" only. The JBA 1/4" top plate brought me to 2". What could be wrong with my setup?
