I got a pair of 17505's from US Auto Parts Network, Inc for $155.22 including Fed Ex. I have these in my possesion already. The 17004's are in transit from the Monroe warehouse. I purchased those from Auto Barn for 67.05 a piece with free shipping at 150 dollars. $134.10 for 2. I filled in the shortage with a Mobile 1 oil filter and a couple of HD bungee cords.

I'll get my OME springs from AllJ along with the rear bump stops. RRO will get my business for the Insane UCA's and built in bump stops. JBA gets quick discos and strut spacer plates. Home Depot will get the lock rings! How's that for spreading the wealth! Have I forgot anything?

I would spread your money around some more and get some hockey pucks for rear bumpstops from a sporting goods store for 4 bucks or so,

rear upper isolators ?????

Instead of the Daystar extended rear bum stops from AllJ?

Rear upper isolators? Something other than stock?

extra stock ones for the rear to give you a little more lift since I see you are doing a top plate and a clevis

Right now my Jeep has a pretty steep rake. The thing looks like I lowered it. I was thinking the plates and lock rings would level things out. What do you think?

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Nov 13, 2009 2:38 am

So you are just doing the front ? Or you are thinking the extra clevis and top plate will make it level with new springs in the rear?
If you're doing new springs all around I would do the top plate and 2 or 3 ring clevis in the front ,
then one extra upper in the rear to start. depending on what you haul in the back you may have to add an extra one per side. Kind of hard to say for sure depending what you haul inside, types of skids, rock rails etc as to how it will sit for sure. For example my tool box alone drops mine over a 1/4 inch or more, then add recovery stuff, other tools I carry, rock rials, Kilby skid, etc so I have two uppers in mine

OK, Tom. One isolator to start. Where do I get them? Thanks bud. I appreciate your time!

Oh, boy! That long? I figured all the other stuff would be out of the way!

Just get them from the dealer
ask for top isoltors need two one for each side

as far as time, if you've done a lift on a KJ before then sure you maybe able to do everything in less time than that. Lift , arms, lower ball joints etc.

candpliberty · **Posted:** Fri Nov 13, 2009 3:18 am

Thanks again, Tom. I'll get busy procuring all the parts! Reading all the how to posts. I'm getting all excited! I'm tired of driving a low rider Jeep!

I thought just for the LBJ's. I figure I'll be out in the garage for at least a day if not a weekend. Making brakeline extensions, opening up the UCA pockets, etc!

Got my 17004's! Seven days from order to delivery from AutoBarn.com! Now I'm waiting some more funds. Where's that check! Common, USPS! Hurry the heck up!

candpliberty · **Posted:** Sun Dec 06, 2009 3:57 am

Well, I got all my pieces! Rancho 17505, 17004. OME medium springs 926, 947. Daystar rear bumpstops. these and springs from AllJ. RRO Insane A arms and bump stops. RRO strut trim packers. Moog LBJ's from Clearlyauto.com. Rear upper spring seats from Pollard Mopar Parts in Boulder, CO. Oh, yeah, I gotta go to Home Depot for the lock rings for the clevis lift. Guess I'll be out in the garage for a while. Can I do this by myself?
