roger that! Thank you much sir! I am ordering the 4 inch springs as we speak
I just hope the JBA springs will ride good with the OME HD springs. the iron man springs are prob. very similar to the OME don't you think?

looking to add a clevis and strut plate within the week, should I do 2 extra isos or the jba 4 inch springs? so far I have the ome HD spring/strut/shock combo with JBA gen 5.5 arms. I am pretty sure the tommudd econo lift has 4 inch rear jba springs. Thanks in advance. |

If you're adding the 3/8" clevis and 1/4" top plate, 2 extra isos to the OME springs will give you an even to slightly nose high stance. If you like/want a rake go with the JBA 4" springs. The Tommudd econo kit uses ironman front springs with the extras and 4" rear springs, but also has a rake. If you use the OME springs and add all the extras, you're making the "old" econo lift that sits level. |

if I did the 4 inch rear springs, is the Y link, rear swaybar links and track bar a necessity? |

Y-link is only for KJs. If you have an KK(08-12) there's no need for it. We don't even have a y-link. Swaybar links are always an upgrade(even with the OME springs). As for the track bar, I'm not too sure. I'm assuming you don't need it. Tom would know better. |

Last time I spoke to Tom, he mentioned that the specs of OME 731s and the JBA rear springs having about the same specs. So it should ride similar to what you're already running. I think the Ironman is similar to OME, depending on which springs you get. Not entirely sure though. |

i replaced my ome with isos for 4" jba best thing i've done, ride is 300% better and and car flexes more natural now. you will need a longer track bar, my rear axle shifted about 1/4 to the drivers side. i made my own track bar for about 120 with better components than jba. i am running front ome hd with top plate and 3 clavis conduit spacers, there rear is a little higher than the front but is just a 1/4" or so.  firts day after installed. the settle down and sits better now  i didnt install my track bar yet because i ordered the wrong misalignment spacers. |

What would happen if I did not get the track bar? is there any negative affect other than the rear axle being a 1/4 of an inch to the side?reason I ask is because I am going to wait until you share how you made yours for 120. I don't want to pay 350 for JBA's |

In my search for more lift all around I decided to tackle the front end tonight. I got my top plates in from JBA and some conduit nuts from home depot. I got some conduit nuts but decided it would be way easier to not install them and just move the shock in the clevis. I moved it 1/4 of an inch which is the same thickness as 2 conduit nuts. now this does not look as dramatic as other pictures I have seen posted on here. did I measure wrong? on OME shocks which is what I have, do you push the nuts right up to the bottom of the perch? should there be a lip that the nuts rest on?

Can't say for sure with OME shocks. Tom would know best. If you're adding a clevis and top plate, make sure you have JBA a-arms, otherwise you'll have a ton of uca contact. |

Is it possible to add a total of 3 isos to each side? 2 more on top and 1 extra on the bottom?? |
|
| Author: | Bmxer524 [ Tue May 20, 2014 11:53 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: 2 extra isos to OME or 4 inch springs? |
I'd add all 3 to the top if you do add 3. I think some people were doing 3 extra on one side and 2 on the other to correct the lean. |

| Post subject: | Re: 2 extra isos to OME or 4 inch springs? |
for some reason I do not have a lean. so add 3 all ontop? anyone ever do that successfully? |
