Did the Jeepin By Al's Adjust-A-Strut Lift. I haven't measured it recently, but if it has sagged any I'll just adjust the collars to get it evened out again.

I guess I'd like to see how much ground clearance the various combinations are getting you; measured under the front skid plate and rear differential would be a start.

Lift doesn't change that much, only tire height does so those with taller tires will be way higher of course
Mine front under skid plate ( lowest point) ...13 1/2 or right about there
rear under the lowest point of rear diff.....9 5/8 or so

I hope you know I had to go out and crawl underneath to get these for you!:happy175:

Well it will for the front as the taller springs will push the arms down raising the clearance under the front diff. Extreme example is the VW Touaregs with independent air suspension that car raise clearance by 5 inches...

The old double edged sword huh. More lift needed for more tire!

I have OME 927/948 and 245 75r16 tires.

10" under front skid and 8.5" under rear diff:shrug:

Thanks for checking!

I did a quick measurement today and got about 17" all around. Mr. Darcy is just over 32,000 miles but those are rough island miles and spent his life until November 10 being a rental car. I'm seriously considering upgrading but I honestly don't know what I would upgrade :shrug:

Now that he's with me his life will be rougher, but a hell of a lot more fun!

Sounds like you are sagged about 2" all around from stock height. Replacing with OME springs all around and new shocks would greatly improve your ride.
