You will get some lift since they are rated higher than the stock coils. These ( the OME 925s) are rated at 350 lbs compared to stock which are in the 300-320 range depending on model and options. I am really not sure why you want to put on a Rough Country lift plus addin new coils? Just do coils and be done with it! Going your way will end up with a mismatched bunch of stuff that may not ride as good as junk coils do now |

Well cuz I bought the kit from Hood297 3" RC front strut spacer 3" RC rear coil springs 3" RC rear hydro shocks So if I wanted this to work what exactly would I need? Because I can't afford a Franky, and I can't afford some of the other stuff out there.. Maybe I should just get a daystar or something but I really wanted this 3" to work.. |

OME light duty coils are the same price as the OME heavy duty coils. You will probably get a 3" lift out of the OME heavy duty coils with a clevis lift. |

Since I'm going to use the Rough Country spacer lift I ordered new springs from Mopar! Cost me roughly $80!! Great Deal I think.. |

What's wrong with the springs you have on now? IIRC, Rough Country's front lift is 3" clevis spacer/extension. You don't even need to separate your coil/shock assembly. |

From the center of the rim to the bottom of the fender flare is 18 inches on the front.. Isn't it supposed to sit @ 20.5 inches? Also: What do you mean JeepKJ02? This is my first lift I have no clue about all this stuff man. I bought the Rough Country off of Hood on here and it comes with the Hydro Shocks and the 3 inch spacers and 3 inch rear springs.. |

The RC front lift gets it lift with spacers that mount externally from the coil assembly between the clevis fork and the bottom "stub" of the strut. |

So if I get what I'm getting from Hood I can have it put on directly I won't need anymore parts to lift the front and the back 3 inches correct? |

No. Judging from the posts im the other thread I started about fender height, stock height seems to be about 19" for brand new springs. That is the tallest unlifted that has posted. Most unlifted are around 18.5". Yours are sagging beyond that to 18". Make sure to get extended front bumpstops to add to that lift... |

How come LTT? |

Because you need front bumpstops to make sure it does not ruin your front shocks and also stack the springs. Also he is correct in saying your stock springs have already settled down about an inch, the lift will work for a while but the stock springs and shocks will continue to sag and weaken |

Try calling Rusty's Off Road. I called yesterday about the OME light duty 925 springs on clearance. Web said they were sold out but they still had one set. $50 for that set plus $20 shipping. then you won't need the front spacer. Just use those and the rear springs and shox that you got from Hood. If those are gone just get a pair of OME HD's from JBA. about $150 for a pair. |
