That's OME 927/731s, Bilstein shocks, 3/8" clevis, 1/4" top plate, and 2 extra rear isos per side.

And yes, all 3 extra isos on top. Basically they slip over the bumpstops and their mounts which hold the isos in place. The bottom doesn't have that extra support to keep them from moving. I just checked, and I could get away with adding an additional iso on mine.

If it helps, I think each iso in the rear adds 1/2". So if you add 2, you got an inch of lift, if you add 3 you get 1.5" of lift.

so do you think with 3 isos i would be sitting close to the JBA 4 inch springs or just a hair under them? I like a rake look but not as drastic as the 4 inch springs, just enough to tell the rear sits a tad higher than the front. I wonder if ill need a track bar with 3 isos?

What setup are you going to be running up front? That will help decide what will give a bit of rake.

With my setup right now, if I added an extra rear iso is have the rear end be 1/2" higher than my front. Or I could keep the rear and pull a conduitnbut for a 1/4" Clevis lift and have my front sit 1/4" lower than the rear.

Right now I have ome hd fronts with ome shocks. I have the jba top plate and jba 3/8 clevis spacer to be installed. I also have 6 total rear isos to install if I don't do 4. I thought I read tom say 3 was to much before but not sure if he was talking kj or kk. I have jba ucas installed already too. And black moabs to go on soon.

2 extra upper (plus the original) per side in the rear, so 3 total per side

so tom, is 3 extra for a total of 4 too much for the top of the spring?

also does the JBA/tommud econo kit come with 2.5 or 4 inch rear springs?

The econo lift comes with 4" springs.

If you do 2 extra(total of 3 on top per side, original+2), you'll sit like mine, which is level.

"2" extra per side , thats "2" extra per side , not 3 extra , not 4 extra but 2
Yes the Ecno comes with 4 inch springs, note that with the Ironman front springs with the 4inch rear it will have a nose down stance unless you use the .500 clevis spacer

Roger that Tom.

My question was if 3 extra for a total of 4 was possible? but if you do not recomend it I will not go that route. Right now with OME HD being installed in the front, would it sit any different since the econo lift comes with the Ironman springs? or do you recomend not mix matching with the OME kit?

You get a little more lift out of the OMEs than you do the Ironman, ( about 1/4 inch)
Its possible to throw more in the rear BUT you're also looking at other issues like the track bar/ sway bar links etc then being way too short.
With the 4 inch springs I would HIGHLY suggest getting the longer track bar and sway bar links, they are pretty well maxed out at that point
