Looks good. Did you get it aligned? The height drops a bit after the alignment.

Thanks everyone. It was aligned with the clevis spacers in and was still at 22.5" after the alignment. I took the spacers out but haven't got it realigned. The shop was having difficulty getting the camber within specs at 22.5" so hopefully dropping an inch should help.

Yea, I can see why. 22.5" is 4.5" of lift lol. My guy had problems over 21.5"

So this may be a stupid question but are the rear OME springs directional? Meaning is there a top and a bottom & how do you tell? I'm getting some rear suspension noise at slow speed bumps, mostly the passenger side. I thought it might have been the sway links but with the sway bar disconnected I'm still getting it. If they are directional I think I may have one or both installed incorrectly. I bought them 2nd hand so they had no directions. Just wanted to be sure before tearing apart the rear suspension again. Thanks in advance.

Does this help?

I'm ordering 927/731 springs this week for a 2.5" lift. What is a clevis lift/isos rear? The shocks/bump stops and UCA from JBA will follow. Hopefully everything will be ready for the lift in about a month or so.

You can add extra rear isos(total of 2 extra per side, put them on the top) to get additional height in the rear. Each one adds 1/2" so you can get an additional inch in the rear.

A clevis lift moves the clevis down the shock more for additional lift(most use conduit nuts for measuring, some don't even add spacers). You can add 3/8" with an OME lift, which will double to 3/4" of lift. There are also top plates you can add (1/4" plates) to get an additional 1/2" of lift.

Thanks but pardon my ignorance, still confused about the clwvis/isos. Anyway for now will do what Morgan (Atthehelm) recommended about OME and Bilstein shocks for 2.5". Maybe down the road will consider an extra inch of lift. Thanks again

With just the OME lift with nothing else you will get the 2.5 inches
Clevis is just raising the shock up out of the ("clevis" part that holds the bottom of the shock) 3/8s of an inch
Isolators are the rubber parts that sit on top and bottom of the spring, install one extra on top for 1/2 inch lift, two for an inch more lift

Thanks, just ordered OME springs and Bilstein shocks today. Hard time finding the front shocks (24-139168). I went on EBAY and bought the front and the rear and just 10 min later got an email from the seller of the front shocks saying they were sold out and “bilstein” had them on BACK ORDER until mid-late September :shock:

.

I hate that; :banghead:

I can’t take it, now have to go to the cancel/refund crap with Paypal. :furious:

Went on two other different websites and they were sold out too. Finally found them in Autoplicity.com. Now just wait until everything arrive.

How come you didn't just order the HD Bilstien strut that JBA offers? Are they any different from the ones you ordered on Autoplicity?
I ask this because I did find them quite easily just now, and Summitracing has them for $109 per strut which is better than JBA. (Although I may be wrong if these struts are different) The ones from Summitracing for $109 are the Bilstein 4600 strut.

Someone past me the link from Ebay and I just bought them. I'm awaiting an answer from Autoplicity otherwise I'll get them from JBA.

Oh well if these struts from Summitracing are the same as the ones on JBA, you're saving $45 if you want to take that into consideration.

Guys I have a question: I bought 2 Teraflex bump stops from JBA, do I need 4? 2 for each side? like the hockey pucks for the rear? Thanks

For the front, you need one per side.
