OTT style lift,stay away.

Just man up and get OME coils.

well i dont know where to start or where to go to..lol

OME coils seems to be the preferred route,for improved ride and handling as well as lift, u will spend more money though, roughly $305 for the coils.

I bought the Rusty's springs and coils in the spring of '06. I'll be replacing them with OME products shortly.

how they do for you?

 

[ptsb5a]

Did fine, but after 70K miles it's time to replace them. Especially since I hung an ARB and winch from the front end. I removed about 8lbs of plastic and replaced it with 150ish lbs of metal. Front springs have sagged quite a bit.

Mag, the best advice I can give you is honestly stop posting threads for a little while. Slow down and search and read for the information you want. I don't mean to sound like a jerk if I do. I'm just saying that most the information you ask for is readily available on this site if you'd just look for it. There are tons of threads stating where to start and where to go, we've all be in your position and not know much about the kj or lifts for it. Common opinion is to stay away from spacer lifts and save up for complete spring spring and shock/strut replacement in all 4 corners. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say and good luck with your search. If you need any help with the WesWay Lift feel free to PM me or email me.

Also I noticed in your sig that you said the front is done that you have to order the rear. Really the only thing you have right now is a clevis lift, unless you installed Boilers Front Strut Shims. The WesWay Lift consists of the clevis adjustment and boilers shims in the front then the isolators in the rear.

well i reason i posted is bc i aint sure what way to go...im thinking do the rear like you did and leave it but then im like well **** my coils and everything are gone..so why not to with full lift on all 4 but then im like well **** i dont know what to do.

the isolators in the rear won't affect your coil sagging like the spacer lifts will.

[blue_kjR417]

well the only way to get rid of that is to upgrade to the OME coils

Excellent setup for the price.

Less expensive than the suspension on my Mini!

BDS is another option, spring rates top OME.

I put the daystar on mine a few months ago and am soon going to ome/rancho cause my front spring/strut is shot (though the rear seem to be just fine so I may keep the rear spacer for a little ie. when I drive it around the block and feel the difference )

If my front strut was not shot I would more than likely stick with the daystar. After initial install it rode like it was on the bumpstops (rough and little give). A few months later and it rides like a 1975 Cadillac in front, and a KJ in the rear. I did replace the rear shocks with some superlift ones from a member on here and that made a huge difference since my factory rear shocks were already shot.

If I knew from the beginning what it would have been like for me I would have saved up and done new shocks/springs for a long term solution because I see the spacer lifts as a short term solution after having them.
