| Post subject: | OME question |
For some reason I cant seem to find the thread where everyone shows/says how much height, from center hub to fender, they have gotten off of thier lift. But I just put in my brand new OME HD rear coils and I only have 21" and im running the stock iso pad on the top...I thought I was going to get more...? |

You should be getting more lift height with the OME HD coils in the rear. shocks could be limiting the lift height now if they are not long enough. |

I had 21" rear when HD's were installed with Original Pads. No extras. It was about 2 - 2 1/2" more than what i had before installation. And I have the OME Shocks in therear too, so it's not limiting anything, it's just not a HUGE lift. It'll keep you from scraping a lot more stuff than before when wheeling! |

Well I did have the full daystar lift, and the OME coils are sittin just as high as the daystar was sitting. And the whole idea to puting in the OME coils were to raise me alil more. I rigured I'd get atleast 1/2in or so more bc my OEM coils 65K on them |

I am at 21.5" Front w/ OME HD Springs, OME "struts", and a 3/8" clevis lift and 22.0" Rear w/ OME HD Springs, OME N132 (Not "L"s) Shocks, and 1 extra upper rear isolator. |

I'm at 21.5 in the front with the daystar at about 26k miles. In the back I'm at 21.250. Shocks shouldn't matter as they are just designed to control the movement of the springs. The springs carry the upper hand, so to speak. Edit.. Unless of course the shocks are a little too short? |

So I should just try with some extra iso's? or could I put my daystar puck back on? |

You replaced a 2.5" puck with a 2" taller spring... With the sagging OEM coils, you should have just broken even or maybe gained a half inch. You could add the DS puck back in but then you may be running a real severe rake. I would try a couple half inch spacers or iso pads first. |

with the jba2.5's + extra upper iso's in the back, and emu hd front coils and 3 conduit nuts in the clevis i sit higher settled than daystar ontop of brand new OEM coils by 1/4 to 1/2 an inch 2 extra isos should give you just under their thickness in lift, and anything in the clevis is X2 in gain |
