Height adjustment after LiftKit OME / JBA

[pivert]

Hello,

after few months with my 2.5" liftkit OME (927/948) and JBA A-ARM, I just installed full Skid plate DIY and Rock sliders DIY also.

But, today I see that the front vehicle is lower. And the front left side is lower that front right side.

Can you help me choose the modifications among this:

Strut Spring Ring:
JBA Spring Ring

Strut Spacer Plate:
Strut spacer plate set

Clevis Spacer:
Clevis Spacer for Front Struts

First things first, how much has it settled?
Next what height are you wanting to get to ?
The left side is always a bit lower, reason why I always give that side a little extra

Pivert- Have you noticed the sag just as time passed or right after installing the skids?

Skids aren't enough to decrease the lift any or maybe 1/8 of an inch unless he made them with 1/4 steel plate or more LOL
Now aftermarket bumper etc when you start adding 80-100 plus lbs then it makes a difference

Below, my measures:
Front left = 19.09"
Front right = 19.48"
Rear right = 19.88"
Rear left = 20.07"

You must be measuring incorrectly 19" is stock height. How are you measuring?

 

[pivert]

Between the center wheel and the lower of ring spreader.

Have you an example of measurement with a photo ? Thanks

Measure center wheel (emblem) to the bottom part of the fender / wheel well

Here's a photo :

I take my measure between both red lines while you use the green line (right?).

 

[pivert]

For infomation, all skid plates (with steel plates of 4mm) and both rocks sliders have a weight of about 60Kg = 130 lbs.

For infomation, all skid plates (with steel plates of 4mm) and both rocks sliders have a weight of about 60Kg = 130 lbs.

Still not enough weight to drop the vehicle any significant amount. That's less than the weight of one adult passenger, as rated.

All of us measure to the green line, as you indicated. So go from the bottom red line, at the center of the hub, up to the green line, which is the outer edge of the fender flare.

With the 927/948 kit, you should be around 21.25-21.5" before any settling.. if you are measuring about 1/4 to 1/2 inch below that on one corner, then we know better how to help.

Below my new measures :

Front left = 20.27"
Front right = 20.47"
Rear left = 20.86"
Rear right = 20.47"

That is not even 1.5 inches of lift. What springs did you use ?
Couldn't of been 927s /948s they give 2.5 inches with nothing else

 

[pivert]

Yes I uses ome springs (927/948) from JBA lift kit.

What's this issue ? Is this during the installation lift ?

To have 21.25", I need to add the following clevis:
- Rear = +10mm (0.393")
- Front left = +10mm (0.393")
- Front right = +10mm (0.393") + 3mm (0.118")

Why JBA kit does not rise over my jeep ?

For information, since the installation of this suspension, I rode 15 000 km.

And in all cases, for the rear springs, everybody uses OME 948. And yet I'm at 20.5" (with full gaz tank and empty trunk) just with all skid plates and rock sliders.

 

[jeeplib05]

Bottom line is you got the wrong springs because OME 927/948 give you 2.5" by themselves which would sit you at 21.5" from center of wheel to bottom of fender flare
JBA clevis rings would sit you even higher than the 21.5" but you shouldn't be worried about adding clevis because your springs are the first and major issue
Check and double check your invoice/receipt you got from JBA because there's no way you have lifted springs
You wouldn't be sagged down that much from throwing on skids nor from driving that few of miles with OME HD springs

 

[pivert]

My invoice JBA corresponds well to 927/948 and in all cases, for the rear springs, it's always OME 948. There is no possible error for the rear but I am still at 20.5".

I'm lost...

 

[pivert]

Assuming I have an 926/948 OME kit, why is the rear so low?

What shocks are you running with them?
