Rubber Size

So what did you end up doing, as far as the top plate, clevis and iso spacers? What size rubber are you running? I have the Ironman springs laying at work to put in, but it's on hold till I'm back to work again

The front has Ironman/Bilstien with two conduit lock nuts and a JBA spacer plate on top.
The back has Ironman/Bilstein with one extra isolater ..
Tires are 245/70R16's on 16x7 Soft 8's. Jeep wishes it rode this good when it was new. As for parking garages I cannot remember the last time I had to use one. We didn't get to the river, had to get back home to take care of Mom she will be 92 on Monday. We should be more the people that brought us up.

Everyone remember if going with Ironman springs use the Ironman shocks as well. The fronts and rears are both longer than the OME/ Bilstein or anyother you can buy now

Thanks, that gives me a bit of an idea of what to expect. I know Tom says to run the ironman shocks, but I may go ahead and run bilsteins since I can get them wholesale locally for less. I may go with the Ironman shocks though still. I've just about decided to go with 31x10.5 rubber since I'm rocking 15x7 wheels now. I think I'll do the same amount of spacers for now until it breaks in. Right now it'll be in December when I make it happen.

Just was wanting to make sure you knew about the Ironman shocks, they only had stock length for the rear to begin with so many went a different direction. I liked the ride better than Bilsteins in a way but they are still a great option

Only reason I'm thinking Bilsteins is I can get them for $80 a pop locally(helps being in the auto biz). I may change my mind next month, who knows,lol. I do appreciate your input though as you do have significant first hand experience with these.

Well, I went to order up Bilsteins at the price I was going to get them for, only to see they are not on hand, and no sign of them being on hand, ugh. So, ironman shocks are on order instead. Also ordered up some Cooper STT 30x9.5" to run for a while. I may eventually move up to 31"s down the road.
