I will get the measurements tomorrow morning from all 4 corners...and yes, they are about 2 months old now, the front was in about 3 weeks ahead of time...its that darn Moab that is SOOO HEAVY with the MTR on it and when I take the spare off I gain a visual of an inch, but want to keep that look with the spare on it. I was considering the JBA 4", but if they are soft I might be in trouble, I was thinking about the daystar stuff, but it might be too tall. I think I recall that someone with a blue KJ on here with an ARB and Rock Lizard rear bumper had the daystar in the rear.

You're dreaming! The stock tounge weight with stock springs is 750 lbs., your MTR is only 26 lbs. heavier than a stock size tire. :wink:

How much weight are you, gents, hauling that is causing these problems?

The attachment I haul bikes an such on lowers my tongue weight to ~300. Since we dont have expensive mountain bikes and load them up with gear they can get pretty heavy. Not to mention I have 100-200+ pound of tools, then there is other random gear. Year round there are things that require me to fill the libby to the max. Between skiing, biking, hiking, camping, beach trips, tailgating, etc I have the jeep loaded up 80%+ of the year. Then there is the joy of "Hey can you come over and take something to the dump" calls from friends and work.

I think I got maybe 200 pounds in the trunk..I got a sub, hi lift, bag of off road stuff, canvas tow rope and some other random stuff I need...So maybe around the range of 200...reason being that the moab looks like it makes the rear look lower is because of the BS on the rim and sticks out more.

I dunno about you guys, but I have loaded my horse trailer (with scrap metal) to the point that I have weighed in at the dump a total of 9980 lbs....

I haven't been towing our horse much lately, but I will admit that when I have our trailer full of hay that steering is noticeably different....

how concerned do I need to be about this when I get lifted?

Maybe it will be a good excuse to get that 2500 cummins 4x4 for the daily driver so I can SFA the libby :wink:

I put MD OME's and the 2.5" daystar puck in the back of mine. Gave a little rake for now but I plan on bumping the front up some after I get the front CV's cut down. I used longer wheel studs to mount the front plate, so I can add th top plate spacer later and/or the conduit nuts.
