That's what I was looking for!

Thanks

Which shocks did you opt for and did you add extended bumpstops?

Alak, I bought my OME coils from ALL Js (Boulderbars) They dont list them onthe website but have them in stock. Best thing they are great to deal with, no sorry not great....fantastic!

sandracer, Rear Rancho shocks are the ones for a Dodge Dakota pickup. RS17004 I think is the number somebody will correct me if I am wrong. Also sandracer depending on how much lift you want with which ones you go with, Heavy or medium duty.
renegadekj is sit up good with OMEs and also Pbrug ( think I got his name right always doing it wrong! :wink:

) OMEs are a alternative to the regular Rustys or going all out on a Frankenlift. Mine now has over 30,000 and no problems at all.
I am running 245-70X16s with spidertrax spacers and no rub anywhere not even the pinch weld!

I actually went for the N132 OME shocks(regular OME shocks). I have not added a bump stop since iam still running my 235/75/16'and there is no need fo them yet, but may need them when i go to 245's.If you want to go alittle less expensive but still a good ride (from what i hear) go with the rancho's and yes tommudd the number is RS17004 for the shocks.

Thanks renegadekj! Knew someone would come in there! I keep a book of what works/doesnt work, where to find the best deals etc on every vehicle I own, but now have misplaced my KJ one so I have to use my brain again!

Oh i dont have any bump stops either.

Thanks y'all. You've helped me get things fine tuned before I make the leap. I will definitely be dealing with All J when the time comes based on what I've read on the forum (including their participation) and the contact I've already had with them inquiring about the Frankenlift.

tommudd ~ I'm curious about the spacers. Your 245/70/16's should be roughly the same dimensions as the 245/65/17's I'll most likey end up with. Which wheels are you using (what backspace)? I like the looks of my stock 17 inch rims and wouldn't mind keeping them. If I recall correctly, they have a 5 1/2 inch backspace.

Just running stock aluminum wheels that came on it. I had bought a set of Moabs but then sold them back to the guy so when I found a great deal on the spidertrax I got them. It puts the edge of the tire to the edge of the fender and makes it look completely different
Regarding AllJs all that I can say is when you call out there it is like talking to an old friend, they listen , suggest things , no high pressure sales just good honest advice, very helpful.

is anybody running the OME mediums in the front with the HD's in the rear? im thinking of going that route. maybe even use the .75" spacer puck in the front with the mediums to it sits somewhat level? anybody have any ideas that could help me out? thanks.

and for shocks im planning on going with the 132L OME's in the rear with ranchos up front. unless the OME front struts are definitely worth the extra money? if not ill just go with rancho in the front to save money

i want the HD's in the rear because i always have my construction tools in the cargo area. im getting a roofrack, and have a hitch that will be carrying a jet ski or small fishing boat or a yamaha rhino every once in a while

If you are not carring around a HEAVY load ALL THE TIME then I would not go with the HD rears
same for the front if you are note going to run with at least a bumper the the HD will not ride as good as the med. coils will
IMO the med. coils front and rear is about as good as it gets as far as ride quality to lift quantity
I have that set up with the RSX struts and the standard OME shocks and it rides better than stock
I plan to put longer bump stops out back and run longer shocks with in the next year
but then again I plan to also lock it and put an after market bumper as well

OH by the way if you are worried about load in the rear dont
our KJ hardly squats when 2 men over 200# each ride in the rear
