Any other parts needed?

[texrider]

Just got done with the intro post and wanted do my first question here. Have an '04 kj that is sagging pretty bad. Measured last night and showed 17.5" to hub. I guess that's what happens when you get to 189k without replacing suspension parts. I realize now I probably should have joined before I ordered the parts, but it is what it is. So, here is what I have ordered. Let me know if I still need other parts, or if I totally got the wrong parts??

OME 2926 front springs (I know everyone seems to post on the 2927s, but
I wanted to try these. I'll kick myself later if I get a front bumper.)
JBA RCS 250 rear springs
Bilstein 24185660 rear shocks
Bilstein 2413968 front shocks
JBA strut spacers
Bilsein rear shock bushing kit
Tereflex bump stops
Oh, and hockey pucks for rear

927s would of been better for sure not matter if running front bumper or not, all of the ones we did at my place were 927s
Why JBA rear springs? just curious
Not sure where you are going to be in the front with using those springs and then turning around and using the " strut spacers" as far as height
You don't quite get the height from the 926s and if 927s I could tell you within a fraction of an inch of where you'd sit. But you maybe about level. After it settles in you can always add a rear upper isolator if sitting too low

Well was thinking the lighter 926 springs would be a little softer ride. With the JBA rears was hoping I wouldn't have to add any isolators thinking they might be slightly taller than the others(OME, Iron Man), but I guess we'll see. From what I'm reading on here I'm guessing they are all about the same lift wise.
One of those cases where I did some searching and ordered the parts when I should have joined the forum and asked questions about the parts first. Kinda searched on here about the JBA rear springs, and not seeing much. Are they not so good, not popular, or just new??

JBA springs have been around for a while, 3-4 years, not many run them in the 2.5 inch . Several run the 4 inch ones though. I've been running the 4 inches for 20-25,000 miles
But most run full sets if running OME then OME rears as well

Thanks for all the info Tom.
Are the JBA 2.5" not comparable to the OME or Iron Man? Those 2 just advertise the 1.5" of lift, while the JBA said 2.5" of lift. I read where the OME is listed the 1.5 for insurance purposes. Is the JBA a little taller or stiffer maybe? If the opposite, then I may have gotten the wrong springs.

Spring rate is the same basically and same height between all of them if comparing the OME 948s and the JBA 2.5s
