I want my KJ to sit level front and back when I lift it. If I am using OME HDs, and Rancho struts and shocks, what would I need to provide or tell my local shop to do?

if using Ranchos you need to slide two up over the little tabs on the side then add two more, you should be good then or at least thats how I started out :wink: and it was level

on mine i have 1 extra isolator in the rear on each side, and in the front, my friend machined me a 3/8" x 3/8" ring that fits tightly around the shock bottom(clevis), im 99% positive the inside diameter was 2.2". it sits pretty darn level right now.

i put the clevis on while i did the lift, and the back was visibly lower the the front by about 1/2", i put the extra isolator in the rear and was amazed how much different that 1/2" made, now it looks great!
