Lift and Tyres of your JK

[MDK]

Yer. There are 3 or 4 reviews on them that I saw but all from commercial type scenarios or professional reviewers/online magazines and not any individual reviews. All did however seemed happy with them but all were heavier vehicles but how often do you get bad reviews, not good for sponsorship dollars.. Everyone seems happy with mug hogs and these are likely the same carcass. Time will tell. 3 of 4 balanced up with 20-30grams of weight, one has 115grms.

It was these or Procomp Extreme AT. In the end it came down to money so at $245 vs $335 for the pro comps I figured worth a shot. Others in the heaper end had mixed or bad reviews. Sonny $200, Maxgrip $260. Looked at the Etyrestore options and a few others.

Best thing about buying these, I can clear my watched list on ebay. lol

So I installed my "50mm" lift today (and yesterday) gained a lot more than that
Height increased as follows
Was. FR. 750mm. Is now. 845mm.
FL. 745mm. 850mm
RR. 755mm. 845mm
RL. 770mm. 850mm
These measurements were taken from bottom of the rim to bottom of the flare.
Uneek front bar no bar on back yet but have an aev bar and tyre carrier on order.
Lift is the double black 2" tourer lift with the fox alloy shocks.

On the positive side you got a nice even lift.
I'd be going back to them and questioning the height though. There are potentially a stack of things you'll need to address if you continue to run a 3.5"-4" lift that you wouldn't have needed with for a 2" lift.

Measurements should be taken from hub centre to bottom of flare then tyre/rim size becomes irrelevant.

You likely had very saggy springs to begin with I'm thinking.

Measure it from wheel centre because a 17" rim is about 18.5" diameter to the outside of the lip.

Just measured mine from bottom of rim (17") to guards and get 830 rear, 815 front. Measured from wheel centre is about 600 rear and 585 front so your at 615 rear and front. So your rear lift is pretty close to 55mm and front a bit more when compared to the max heights for your springs to be within factory spec.

From memory I saw 60mm lift back, 70mm front from the springs that were on it hen I bought it. Back is 40mm above max spec height and front about 50-55 from memory.

With stock 245 75 I thought it looked too high at times. Now with 285 70 I reckon it wants a little nudge up. lol.

I reckon what you've got is about where it should be as its a 50mm lift with front and rear bar and winch.

Doesn't really matter how it was measured, as long as the before vs after measurements were taken the same way.
Does that DBOR kit contain any bracketry for correcting camber and track bars etc?
How do you like the ride when empty?

Just checked my RVD (road vehicle descriptor) on an 07 SWB (go here to look up your JK data http://myrta.com/rvd/)
"Vertical Measurement wheel centre
to top of wheel arch opening at
unladen mass"
Front 525mm
Rear 563mm

So to see where your really at you needed to first measure in the prescribed location to have a true base line measurement.
Also most if not all Lifts will give slightly more in the front to level the JK's natural forward rake, & allow for weight of a bar with winch etc. as you can see theres almost 40mm difference front wheel opening to rear on a stock JK.
