I'm looking into getting an OME 927/948 with bilsteins up front, clevis lift, and spacer plate...and use monroe load adjusting shocks (58649) with two extra ISOs out back. Just wondering, from those of you using the monroes, if you can get it sitting level, or if the back end will sit higher? I don't want to lift the front so high that I need to get new a-arms and mess with the drive shafts...

If anyone has a side profile pic of their KJ that would be awesome too...

Sorry but if you are adding all of that to the front and rear you will need to add the JBA UCAs up front. You'll have UCA/ spring contact. Rear will sit a little higher with the Monroes by the way.
Front is going to be @ 22.75-23

Ask or pm tommod I think it will sit higher with load levelers and 2 isolators. I have 4” lift with two isolators and load levelers in the rear and it is a bit higher but I like that way. Its level when I pull the trailer.

Thanks for the reply...If I dont do a full clevis lift...maybe only go to 22.5 in front...how much higher would the back be with the Monroe shocks in back and maybe only 1 ISO?

As Cactus stated even at 22.5 you'll have some, actually anything over 22 is going to have some spring/ UCA contact at times . Some are a little more forgiving and you can get by but its the nature of the beast.
So comes down to many have installed lifts and then went ahead a few weeks/ months later with the JBA UCAs due to the contact, if you can do it all at the same time and save alignment costs etc plus its a great upgrade.

With that set up, it depends on how much clevis and top plate you add. I have 927's with 1/4" clevis and 1/4" top plate and I'm sitting at 22" settled in up front, 22.5" in the rear with only one extra Iso.
