Actual Lift Amount - Lets Compare Fender Heights

[tommudd]

06 sport
bds lift
bilstein 5100s rear
bilstein hd front shocks
jba 4.5 ucas
front hub to fender is about 23 inches +/- 1/8"
rear is about 21 inches
no alignment yet but im hoping it kinda levels it out unless that 2 inch difference is normal, if not i will probably add 1 or 2 extra rear isos per side
any insight on the difference in heights would be helpful, i will update and post pics after i get the alignment tomorro

alignment will drop it down some, also if you tightened your UCAs with the weight off you need to loosen them and retorque them with weight on, that will keep it higher for a while also

just to be sure, you are referring to the mounting bolts inside the engine bay for the UCAs not the balljoint nut? and torque spec on the mounting bolts is 90 lbs if the info i have is good? the jeeps at te alignment shop now im just waiting for the call that its done lol

 

[long_tall_texan]

Yes, That is what he is talking about. And 90 is the correct torque.

 

[tommudd]

No was asking if you tightened the UCAs when the weight was off of them or with it sitting on the tires, should be with full weight on them. If not you preloaded them and it will sit higher for a few days/miles as well

Going to have to measure mine, as my liberty had aftermarket wheels, and different sized tires. 2005 KJ with 45K miles. Has 15x7 wheels, and 235/75R15 on it now. I do see some rub marks from tight turns, and when the suspension is compressed. Wondering how the tires would look after an OME lift?

235-75-15 with just OME coil springs.
I think the tires will look too small.
Looks ok with 245-70-16's or 245-65-17's.
Looks best with 245-75-16's!

 

[streetglideok]

Ill likely keep the 15" wheels, as they look good, and should work fine. Thought about 30 or 31's

 

[HoosierJeeper]

With the OME lift, a diameter of 30.5-31" is a very practical range to go with, good combo of looks and performance.

That size is a little small on a lifted KJ. Here was mine with 235/75-15 with a standard Daystar spacer lift. About the same height as OME coil lift alone.

I need to double check, as I dont believe I was on a flat area in the parkinglot, but I came up with:

This is an '05, with 46K miles on it.
