I installed rear lift, OME 731s, Bilstein 5125s, and only got 1 inch of lift? Up to 20.25 inches. I thought you were supposed to get 2.5 inches? |

Does anyone have a picture of new springs vrs old or technical specs or measurements? My new springs are barely taller than my old ones, I assume they should be 2 inches taller. |

unloaded spring height does not really determine how much "lift" it will be giving. Its how it "loads" up once compressed under the Jeep. Springs have different rates depending on the tempering, spring design ect. Lots more in depth to spring design than just the overall length of the spring. A worn and sagged out OEM spring will many times be the same basic height as its stock brand new replacement, but once under a load and compressed the differeance will be noticable in how the Jeep sits. I see some guys run twin spring isolators on the rear to get the height up. I am running OME/RRO front struts/springs for 2.5in overall to level the jeep, and 2 inch via the stock springs and spacers under them(along with one isolator). I will drive it a few more days then take a measurment. Want to give the front springs time to settle in with some drive time. |
