If you know then why did you ask. They are to short to be safe. Why do you want two upper plates anyway.
Not a good idea at all, even if you are two wheel drive you still have limitations as the springs will hit the UCAs '
Adding all of that in will only cause issues down the road
but Ford Taurus wheel studs work

Even with the JBA upper A arms?
The Ford Taurus wheel studs are longer and the right size?
Yes even with the JBA upper arms
If you use 927 front springs/3/8 inch clevis/and a 1/4 inch top plate you'll be at 22.75 to 23
You'll get spring/UCA contact at 23 1/4 or there abouts
no matter if its two wheel drive or not
ONLY way I see for you is using the coilovers from JBA
Expensive yes but you'll get more lift
Of course then alignment issues comes into play
another member from Texas tried various lift options a few years back on a two wheel drive as well. He never got any higher than I have mine really due to alignment/coils hitting the 4.5 UCAs

Well I am going to be installing the Tommudd's Econo 3.5" Lift Kit. But I think you know that. And I just want it to set close to level and in lieu of using the 0.375 clevis spacer,
I have the 0.500 spacer. So it should sit close.
The 4” rear spring are what have me concerned… I do not want the rear setting to high. And I do plan on running the 265/75R16. And modifying the pinch weld and front bumper.
I am so looking forward to this coming weekend and installing all this fun stuff.

Didn't know which lift you were going with
have no idea who orders what or how many have been ordered.
If using the larger spacer then you'll be pretty well maxed out. As far as the 4 inch springs go they are the same as what we have been doing with running the OME 948s and two extra upper isolators basically. The 4 inch is just better since you do away with the extras and the ride is real good as well .
Heres a set up with Ironman etc and should be about where you are going to be It ( the maroon one ) has the Ironman with 245-75s on it, sitting at just under 23 inches in the front. The econo kit is based off of this setup, first I ran it on mine for a while then swapped to a buddy of mines
Don't pay any attention to that black one, its just a test dummy :rotflmao:

23.25 middle of wheel / bottom of flare with spring/UCA contact on some bumps. JBA coil overs are going to fix that problem here soon :rofl:
ground to flare 37.75 or so in front with worn Duratracs
Can't remember what year wheel studs right off, have it in the black book in the garage

Not a problem, if I can help out anymore just let me know.
I bought mine new in September 2004, was not going to do anything to it since I had a lifted Cherokee. That plan went out the window somewhere about a month later :hahano:

With this one, it started out as fixing the worn-out suspension. (So I do not get beat-up anymore.)
I wanted it to ride more like my Ranger……. It being on 35’s plus just well setup suspension does help.
I also hate being so low to the ground.
