Hey Gravel I don't know anything about your existing setup but watch your compressed lengths before you go flexing it up or hitting washouts at speed.

BTW try and restrain yourself...I've noticed the JK becomes Very Very Fun on rough roads when you go from twin tubes to high pressure monotubes!

Yom, all meassured 2" bump stops in the rear 2 1/2" in the front compressed legnth should have about an inch clearance at full compression all round.

The old shock have almost done 90,000km's now and are starting to rust in the rear. was going to go for the OME Sport long but had an 1" to 1 1/2" to much droop.

I'm already at 3" up in the front and 2" in the rear, I will be adjusting this also to take into account the lean I now have to the right hand side (@ 1/2"). This will leave the front at 3 " and bring the rear up to 2 1/2" to take the rake in to account.

This will do two things: make it less likely to drop a rear spring and secondly make it easier for me when disconnecting the disco's LOL...

Thanks for the heads up.

IPF 900 lights, Uniden CB, GME CB Antenna & Rear View Cam.

I Mounted the Uniden CB in the centre console out of site. The Uniden remote handset has an inbuilt speaker hence there is no problem putting the main unit in the console.
The camera is from ARB and I have plugged it in to my Navman 75T. It works great.

Next project will be to make my own rock sliders. Has anyone seen some good plans for JK sliders on the net?
