    Shocks

    Jet makes a piggyback tuner for the 3.7, it's not terribly expensive, and comes either as a Stage 1 or 2. I have stage 1 installed for the last 2 years and not only are the shift points better but low end torque and midrange feel stronger. MPG pretty good all things considered. It's not nearly...

    Just like you always do, they’re referring to the stock ride height. not current ride height

    Looking for wheels; Ford 16x7 18 hole stock steel

    Best I could find for dodge nitro steel wheels was 55/each off ebay... and they have to be repainted! Ridiculous I know. People should be just throwing those steel wheels away.

    Offsets, Backspace, and other wheel info

    Measured to the outer lip, backspacing is closer to 5 3/4". If you measure to the tire bead, it's about 5 1/4"

    Correct OME springs for winch install

    I think the 790s are 500#/in. The HD gas = medium Diesel, which is 400#/in. The medium gas = the light diesel, which is 375#/in.

    Lockers or not

    No, but I think that could depend on what transfer case you operate. With my select trac transfer case the DTT up front was amazing. Clawed its way up snowy roads like it was nothing. Before, even with the same triple peak rated A/T tires, i would slip and slide around a bit. With the DTT it was...

    Thoughts on Quadratec Moab

    So here's something controversial I want to throw out there: I think most of the OE rubicon moab wheels are cast, not forged - a few production years might have been forged but most were cast. After reading up on a few of the jeep rubicon forums they believe their stock OE rubicon wheels are...

    Lift kit advice

    the older RSX versions aren't available, no. But the successor to that shock RS5000X is available, yes. Check rockauto, though make sure you click "strut" instead of shock for fronts. That's just how they describe them... technically they're just shocks.

    Lift faq: Read before asking questions!

    An update: not sure ARB/OME changed their production from when this posted a few years back but here is the information straight from ARB on current (2021) OME products for the KJ: Front 0. Stock spring - 320#/in 1. Light spring - 375#/in 385mm height 2. Medium spring - 375#/in 392mm height 3...

    Lift kit advice

    I've been running rancho RS5000X shocks for a year or two and they're very good, plus lifetime warranty. I'm not a fan of bilsteins, ride too stiff. If you go to other jeep forums, they rave about the rancho/OME combo. Just so you know, OME makes a variety of springs for the KJ but they're all...

    H&R Spring Review

    Can you describe how: the vehicle drove on highway, on low speed roads, around bends, i.e. braking dive, corner control, NVH transmission, passenger comfort, wheel alignment, etc. and how it worked offroad, i.e. lift clearance, compression/rebound effects, etc. Thanks!

    Correct OME springs for winch install

    Had an interesting discussion with ARB this morning. Could be useful info for people. According to them here are the specs for the OME KJ springs: Front 0. Stock spring - 320#/in 1. Light spring - 375#/in 385mm height 2. Medium spring - 375#/in 392mm height 3. Heavy spring -...

    Noob question- alloy vs. steel

    Really. Educate me then... Measure from backside of hub mounting surface to straight edge sitting on the outside edge of the wheel lip. Right? That measures 5 3/4”. Subtract the wheel lip (1/2”) and you get 5 1/4”.

    Noob question- alloy vs. steel

    Got a 16” steel dodge nitro wheel in hand. Same width and backspacing as oem kJ wheels. Weight with center caps around 26lbs. I reweighed the stock 16” kJ steel wheel, it’s right at 27lbs.

    Can you explain more about the ride? And have the springs sagged?

    H&R Spring Review

    I agree with you: looks better than the OME setup and sounds just about perfect for what I'd want. The HD OME setup looks kinda ridiculous. That said, I kinda think this is an apples/oranges comparison because you didn't compare the H&R setup to an equal OME setup. You overloaded the spring...
