Hi,

Just curious to know if anyone is running them?
I am looking possibly to change my set up from NS132L & NS948 with 2 rear Isolators to these JBA 4" coils & shocks.
At the front I have NS131 & NS790 + 3/8 Boiler top plates & 2 Clevis ring and JBA Upper arms.

Any advantages?

Tks,
Fil.

Been running the 4 inch coils for quite a while now. Before I had the 948s plus two extra uppers in the rear, removed the extras just running stock iso's and the new coils and still gained 1/2-3/4 inch

Tom,
Just read your review on JBA, quick question what rear shocks would I have to use? Can I keep the OME NS132L or do I have to replace them? Also would I need the Y link? WhaT I am looking to do is get a better rear ride, OME feels a littel to soft, but I don't want a harsh ride either like the front ( I have OME790 at the front and without the winch on it's abit to harsh on mine, I weigh less than the CRD 2.8).

Fil.

When I ordered my JBA 4" rear springs, I ordered the 4" Bilstein shocks on the JBA site as well. I also ordered the Y link extension. This will get the geometry of the boomerang back in line and inprove the downward travel of the axle. I currently have the daystar and no Y link extension, and the Y link angles look really ugly just sitting in the driveway. Based on that alone, I would recommend the extension if you are going to lift it. My order just shipped :pepper:
