I have been researching on this site for a while now but this is my first post as I now have the money to buy a lift kit for my 2006 jeep Limited.

I have read that the Ironman Lift has stock length front and rear shocks. Would I be able to pair the Ironman lift springs with other shocks ( Bilstein, Rancho) and still keep the integrity of the lift kit?

Also, I wanted to keep the stock limited rims so I was looking at a 245 70 r17, from what I have read I should have no problem fitting them once the lift is installed correct?

Thank You all in advance, this site has been very helpful in answering any questions I have about my jeep and the modifications I have in mind.

Gary

Front shocks are the same no matter what, no longer ones available and not needed
With the ironman rear springs and nothing else added the Ironman rear shocks will work great, ride is really good as well
Its only when you add more height that you need longer shocks

This is great info. I didn't realize this whole time that front shocks are alway stock length.
But from what I've seen on shock websites, some have more travel?
A clevis lift doesn't affect shock length with, correct as its moving the whole unit up together?
With ironman springs and rear iso's what's the best bang for your buck? I'm seeing a variance in price from 30-130.00....

And really what's the ride height difference between OME and ironman? Is it worth the 80 bucks?
