I used TJM and am very happy with them. I did replace all of the shackles both front and back too. Upper control arms were complete kits. That made all the difference and brought everything into alignment. I may have gone too big with tyres as the one rubs at some angles.

Hey guys,

Bought my jeep less than a week ago! And I'm wondering after all this time how everyone is going with their various lift combos? As I've found my springs have sagged a bit over time

I think I'm gonna go with a OME Lift from JeepinByAl or a

Heavy duty TJM kit

I do need the heavier rated front springs because because I bought it with an ARB bullbar already fitted.

I want to keep it fairly standard in terms of just fitting the suspension lift and NOT spacers etc.

Cheers,
Conor

You don't have to buy an OME kit from Jeepin by Al just get one locally

I'm still really happy with the EFS lift I got. Seems to be holding up and hasn't dropped at all since I had it installed. New tyres coming up soon, where I'll go to 245/70r16's. Haven't decided which ones yet.

Have to get the T/C issue sorted first, but it's behaving itself at the moment again which makes it hard to pinpoint what's causing the issue.

Hi a-frame.
I am not sure whether you are referring to the torque converter when you mentioned t/c? If so, I had issues which were t/c related. It turns out that the gearbox service had seen the garage underfill the box by at least 1litre😯. Topped that up and that was done! The fluid levels didn't register on the dip stick as being low. Air bubble in the t/c? Not a mechanic. I have a brand new Mopar t/c in the garage that I didn't need to fit if you would like to buy that a greatly reduced price.👌

Yeah I've seen the EFS kit, would it hold the weight of the KJ engine and a bullbar?
