Noticed a slight lean in the rear... LR 20 3/4, RR 21 3/4 (center of hub to bottom of flare). I have the OME HD lift in the rear with two isos. Rear has a RL bumper w/carriers, RL gas tank skid, and a 16x8 KMC Enduro w/265 75 Duratrac (spare). Could the spare be causing me to lose an inch on that side? What else could cause me to lose a inch on that side? New springs and socks were installed back in August 2014. |

I experienced the same thing with my OME 948s which are only rated at 200 lbs/in which are 50lbs over the stock spring rate. The OME spring wasnt designed to handle that kind of weight for a long time. Springs sag. But I know others will say im wrong. Maybe even check out your isolators, a few I have seen got good and crunched down over the years. So what I have found that works are a stiffer rear spring thats custom made with a higher spring rate. Tested them out for two years in secret on my two KJs and now about 10 KJ/KKs have them, everyone has been pleased with them. Unfortunately thats all the information that I can give out due to the lostjeeps policy about selling items on here and I'm not willing to give up the info for free honestly, because I have been screwed over by some members on here. You want a "vertern lostjeeper" and their opinion on it, ask ATH. If you want more information on the springs PM and we can discuss where you can get more information. (Note to Admins: this is in no way items that I personally make or even sell for a profit. I just have someone make them for members, all I do is call a order in and they get shipped out, but im sure thats violation of some rule on here) |

id say half an inch is pretty normal, if its smooshed through the isos more on one side than the other then id expect another up to half an inch i think mine was about 2/3" different completly unloaded of cargo with my jba25s but my spare tire was and is still on the center |
