21.5 ?? Looks more like 3 plus than 2.5

Good eye, Tom. Had the measurements reversed...22.0" front, 21.5" rear. OME CRD HD springs were used...forgot the specific spring part number. Additionally, I think I had installed two spring isolators in the back with a strut spacer up front...Frankenlift.

790 front OME springs for a CRD
Almost as high as you can go on a CRD due to the front diff
After you have lifted a ton of KJs you can tell if one is sagged and how much or lifted and how much LOL

UPDATE: I ended up moving to Dallas and now I drive mostly highway. (meh) Here's my new Michelin Defenders 255/70/16 with a little rub on front inside fender. I could cut out the inside wheel well plastic and seems like that would fix any rub, but the rub isn't all that bad. U-Turns mostly. The back bump stop isn't close to be an issue.
OME lift with 926/947 springs, wish I would have gotten 927s. JBA control arms. Rides good with these and nice and quiet. Found the Moab Wheels for $325 for 5, happy with that.

This is a really good thread about pounding over the pinch weld at the back of your front wheel wells. It is probably where you are rubbing on turns, and this will eliminate it. Pics are gone in the thread but great description and discussion are worth reading. I’ll see if I can find pics of the process somewhere else.

This thread has some pics of the pinch weld. The process they use to bend it is good (bent, NOT cut) because it preserves the integrity of the unibody. However, they didn’t heat up and re-use the black plastic wheel liner as described in the first thread. It will look stock if you do it that way, instead of hacked up.

What did you end up doing with the chrome OEM wheels?
