I've driven plenty of cars "ricers" in my younger days with cut coils. Never had a problem with cut coils. And every car I had with cut coils, I cut myself. Its easy and there's nothing to it. But that was back in my younger days when I didn't mind. I'm alot older now and married with children...
But the 926's are a heavier weighted spring over the 925's so that would be a little more stiffer thus after installation and after so many miles when they settle in the 926's would probably net a little more height over the 925's. The 925's are a lighter weight spring that are actually pretty...
Well you have to remember what the person is asking about or looking for. Like I have been saying my Wife DOES NOT WANT ANY LIFT. I'm just tying to be able to upgrade over stock but stay little to no lift as possible. So with what I was told from other members on here is that the OME 925/947...
Lol. I understand what your saying. I upgraded my XJ with nothing but better than stock parts. And the ride improved tremendously. Plus its lifted.
I'm trying to teach my Wife the same thing with her KJ. But unfortunately her not being able to ride in a another Libby with the better...
Thanks for all the help. It is Much Appreciated. Now that I got a bunch of info, time to sit down and talk to the Wife. After all it is Her KJ she is the one that daily drives it. Since it stays 99.9% of its life on the Highway and city to back roads. She will most likely just want to go with...
Ok so OME 925's front & 947's rear will net approximately 1" lift over stock cause they are the "Light" Duty spings does it matter which Struts or Shocks. Do they make them in a Light duty or Heavy duty? And what's your preference 1 vs the other on The Better riding struts and shocks?
Well here's my dilemma by what I've been seeing as I read other threads on here and from what some have replied here, even thoughhave OME claim only 1.5" lift people have stated the gained closer to 2.5" of lift after installation. That will be too much, my Wife isn't looking for any lift. She...
Also if just decide to go Bilstein Struts and Shocks and some Factory New Springs which Bilsteins would be better to get for her Libby. Which would give her the better smoother comfortable ride. The Standard Bilsteins or the Heavy Duty Bilsteins? Or would she get a better ride with OME Struts...
Hey man, thanks for your info. I know Springs give the height and shocks/struts control the dampening / motion. What I meant by OME/OME or OME/Bilstein being around the same was the ride the same? Meaning the Shocks/Struts feel the same compared to one another. Does one give a better ride over...
Hey man, ya I went with the Duratracs cause that's what i'm running now on my XJ and they are a good all around tire, Best All Terrain I've ever ran. I wanted a Stock size tire for her KJ since she didn't want to lift it but wanted a tire that performs really well on dry pavement / wet pavement...
Ok thanks for the info. I've pretty much rebuilt my XJ from the ground up, but this will be the first time I tear into her KJ and wanna make sure I don't mess anything up to were she's down for a few days.
Now how about the 1.5" Ironman lift is that comparable to the OME/OME or OME/Bilstein...
Weres the best place to buy well cheapest place to buy. Lol. & is it cheaper to buy the parts individually or buy as a kit? And if bought as a kit are the front springs already installed onto the struts?
The costing more isn't a problem. I don't mind paying for something that is quality. I just want something that is much better than stock but won't add hardly any lift.
Now I've read where some people have said they netted 2.5"-3" from the OME 1.5" lift. Is this true? I can probably persuade her if its only 1.5" total lift over stock but if nets anymore than that like the 2.5"+ than she definitely won't go for it. She likes her Libby the stock height and...
Lol. Ya sorry got that mixed up whe typing meant to say 925/947. Well Money wise depends. I'd figure to replace all it would cost around 500-750,.. but is the cheaper stuff like Monroe ride any better than stock or even close to the OME? Or would it be more visible to run Bilstein instead of OME...
Thanks for the info. So if I did the OME Struts-F/Shocks-R. And did OME Springs 945/927 It will be close to stock height maybe +1"-1.5" Over stock? Im just looking to giver her a better ride vs what was on there stock but without adding any lift or as little lift as possible.
Yes hello, my name is Tony. I recently bought my Wife a Stock 04 Liberty Renegade about a year and a half ago. Her stock Suspension has about had it. Struts and shocks are pretty much done and springs are sagging. I just recently bought some New 225/75/16 Duratracs for her Libby. But am also...
Hello all, im new to the forum. I joined mainly because we recently picked up a 04 KJ Renegade for my wife. And for the year that we've owned it she loves it and will soon need new tires. I've been trying to talk her into letting me install a 2.5" lift but she wouldn't go for it. She said if she...
