4 years ago I have done lift on ome springs and two years later added 1" spacers.
Springs are ome 2790 front and 2948 rear, 0,5" clevis spacer which gives 1", and 1" spacers in back. So ~3,5" total. Don't want to go more, because cv axles will be too stressed. (and I cant get in EU trakmotive extended articulation ones for crd).
Additional weight is, besides being CRD, winch in front under factory bumper (so no steel bumper), steel plates for engine, transmission and transfer case and drawers in trunk.
Is this too much for those springs? After 4 years of daily driving and mild offroading, only lift left is this from spacers.
From centre of hub to the egde of the fender I have 20", when factory is 19"
Or I have bought just faulty springs, change to new ones and thats it?

If you decide to install new springs, take a hard look at IronMan 4X4 Springs.
I have had them on my Liberty with a 0.5" clevis spacer for over 8 years now and they have held up very well with very little if any sag. :BANANA: See Picture below (w/ 245x75x16 tires).
They come with a 4 year warranty! :D

Thx for input.

JEEP014C in front, JEEP015B in rear?

Do you have anything adding to weight installed on your KJ?

Full skid plates, and a steel brush guard.
