Questions before buying 1.5" Econo lift

Gageraid · **Posted:** Thu May 09, 2013 5:42 pm

I know questions like these have been asked, but was wondering the preference with the OME springs/shocks front and rear among KK owners.

Which is best, HD springs only front? Standard or Medium for back? And should I choose the long travel shocks?

This Jeep has never been off road, but may hit the beach once it's lifted. All street use so far. Thanks a bunch in advance, especially if you have the 1.5" Econo lift.

HD fronts
medium rears
yes to extended shocks since the others are for stock height and you may top them out
You'll get more than 1.5 inches from the lift
unless you don't want to lift and only want to upgrade

Thanks for the response that I was looking for. At first I just wanted to improve the ride, but if the lift is the same price... count me in.

Does that lift require new A arms?

Not that I am aware of.

From what I understand, you can get some noises from the front end when using the old A-arms under certain install conditions. The replacement A-Arms eliminate that issue. But lots of people here have the OME 1.5 lift with the original A-Arms with no problems.

They help with alignment.

Thanks Musclez. I hope my control arms okay since I don't plan on adding anything to the lift.

Best picture I have for now. I forgot to take measurements before it was installed.

I appreciate it. And those are just the lousy pics from the parking lot. I have also taken the air dam off since then.
