I'm no expert .. but with all you got goin' on in the front I would think 21.5 is a bit low :shrug:

Does the JBA UCA xtender thing-a-ma-bob add a smidgen of lift?

Nope!

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm not sure. It was at 18" before the lift so it's 3 1/2" of lift but I assumed it would be closer to 22 or better based on the numbers I've seen posted on here.

 

[Luke]

I was at 18" when I put in my Frankenlift ... took me to 23.25 in the front.
Even after removing the bottom spacer I am still at 22. Is it possible that your coils are compressed too much? I'm not sure if that is even physically possible but your coils are very tight.

Don't forget your really looking 2.5 inches of lift at the moment

Where is Tom when we need him?

 

[VAhlene]

When I did OME coils no top plate or clevis lift, at first I was at 22.75 and now its settled to an even 22.5 in front and 23 in rear.

 

[Snail Farmer]

Well shit. I wonder what's going on then. Hopefully I can figure it out.

 

[Snail Farmer]

Well I figured I'd post an update. My suspension has settled in and I just remeasured today. I'm sitting at 20.5" in the front and 21.5" in the rear. I have no idea why it's so low, and I don't even know where to begin looking to try and raise it up some more. Any thought from the gurus? Some pics

Ok, now I know that the Ironman coils have an extra coil but those are almost completely stacked. Which ones did you go with, the HD coils?

 

[Snail Farmer]

No I went with the load range B. It was my understanding that the HD coils were only needed if I were going to install say a winch or an ARB bumper.

 

[Luke]

What the hell?

That has got to be noisy .. No?

I hope you figure it out!

p.s. I would message Tom those pics if it were me .. something's obviously not right.

 

[Snail Farmer]

Yeah I know something's off with it, I just don't know what. I'll probably send them to Tom and see what he thinks. And the only noise it makes is I hear what sounds like creaking rubber. I hear it the worst when I'm turning right, if that matters. I sprayed silicon lube on all the bushings today, but it didn't affect the noise any.

Looks like the shocks are limiting and Keeling the springs compressed ?

Front shocks are all pretty much the same length so thats not it. And if you look at pics of other Ironman spring installs the coils do set closer together. However those do not look right to me. Did you buy from JBA? Email them the pic's as well.

Yes I bought everything from JBA. I'm waiting on Tom to get back to me, but if he doesn't have any ideas I'll do that.
