OME 927s are what you need for the front 400lb spring rate
rear OME 948 s

If you have a Diesel OME 790s 500 lb spring rate
springs for the rear are the same

if you need to know about shocks
Rancho RSX 17004 rear 17505 front
also Teraflex bumpstops #0019301200 for the front

If I install to my KJ the following:

OME926 KJ FRONT MEDIUM COIL
NS130 FRNT LIGHT, JEEP LIBERTY
OME947 KJ REAR MEDIUM
N132 LIBERTY/KJ REAR SHOCK

Without front Strut Spacers and/or Strut Plates

How much lift i will get?

It is possible to install this without Struts Spacers

I olny want to get 1.5"

tks

That should get you right at 1.5/1.75 inches, again and always remember that when doing the lift you may get a little more or less depending on how old your KJ is and miles on it. A KJ with 10,000 miles may get 1.5 inches where as a KJ with 70,000 may get 2 inches or more depending on sag.

Can you put a 1/4" steel spacer with the OME790s without having to get the Daystar top plate?? Would there be too much preload??

yes you can use like a 1/4 inch top plate like Rustys sell or I have the pattern for one as well. It would not have too much preload as it just sits above the top strut plate and the frame

Should have mentioned it was an internal spacer, not an OTT.

OK so you want to put a chunk of steel in that says on a 350 lb spring will add in 175 lbs so from what it says would be something like a 525 lb spring, but you want to use it with a 790 which is a 500 lb spring to begin with thus creating at 675/700 lb spring??? Why?

Since there is not a picture of this thing ????

Talk about hijacking a thread.....lol!!

Main reason, I want more lift, than I have now. Plus I already bought it thinking I was going to use it with my OME medium springs. If I add it with my medium dutys, I would have a 525lb spring which is a higher spring rate than the OME790s and give me 1/2" lift.

yes total HIJACK sorry folks

so do you want to use the medium duty springs or the CRDs? Like I said not sure about those things but it seems you can use it with the mediums but I would not with the OME CRD 790s. Just not really sure?
