Don't forget Teraflex front bump stops. Also add hockey pucks to the rear as well for added bump stops.

THANKS ^^^^^^^^^^^^ had not got that far yet, letting some new things sink in before hitting him with another list

Depending on the ride and height you want, here is a chart for the ARB/OME
Also, what the OME shocks look like inside.

What are ya doing to me ?
Think I got your sticky finger punching cleaned up

I never show the chart since most times it only confuses the confused LOL
Plus that chart doesn't even show the correct rear shocks when lifted ( or didn't a month or so ago )

I think the OP stated adjustable as you mentioned adjustable in the FAQ for lifts.
Thinking they don't make or stock them anymore.

[QUOTE="tommudd, post:member:]The adjustable coilovers are the best , fronts are not only height adjustable but also can adjust for rebound and compression. Plus i have the rear shocks that are also adjustable as far as rebound and compression , nothing beats them[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]
OME never did an adjustable shock
I run the JBA adjustable coilovers on the 03 and 04 , which the above is what I was talking about
People take things out of context when they need to read the complete post to see what you are discussing
Bilstein does make some adjustable ones but the rears are only for 1-1.5 inch lift, not nearly enough for the OME 948 rear springs

 

[Big Al]

Does JBA (jeepsbyal) still make adjustable coilovers.
Don't see them listed for KJ or KK's.

Yeah, seen these Bilstiens used in a few builds successfully so i figured give it a shot. Bilstien has them listed as compatible but it's good to know that they're only good for 1.5" or so. I'll go ahead and order the regulars.


As for the teraflex bump stops, I haven't been able to find places to buy them yet.

No stopped selling a while back, which is sad

Successful builds ?? OK
What is a " successful build " in your world before I go further
Many places have the teraflex bumpstops for the Jeep Liberty, I have even bought them directly from Teraflex when I was ordering 6-7 sets at a time

Thanks much! I've seen it happen with qudratec where it goes out of stock listing and never comes back, I kinda assumed it was the same here.

99% OF THE SO CALLED BUILDS ON THERE ARE SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER OWNED A 4X4 BEFORE
If you want to follow them, well good luck
Most of us on here have been building/ upgrading KJs for 12-14-16 years now
follow beginners or those who have done a whole bunch of them

Fine cool thanks for the input, but you don't need to come off as a sarcastic *** about it. I've taken your recs and feedback to keep in mind from this thread. I've been pouring over threads here for weeks trying to get everything figured out, sorry i xxxxxxx up one part that wasn't talked about a whole lot. There's a reason I made this thread before picking everything up. I'm not a beginner to automotive modification, but I am new to Jeep life and owning a 4x4 in general, so all the help I can get is appreciated.

Wait for it wait for it..here comes the moderator bit..bud like I tell alot of people here take the nuggets of info that work for you and disregard the condescending attitude that you'll get from one or two memebers. Alot of good builds out there, successful builds on Facebook, Instagram and forums like this one all on the internet. Alot of ways to get where you want the jeep to be. You seem to be on the right track at the end of the day it's your jeep build it your way.

Awesome, thank you so much! Definitely will be a good read when I get home from work.

 

[tommudd]

what a shame people point you in the wrong direction
oh well let them hurt your checkbook


Its really funny to me that someone new comes on wanting to make sure what works etc asking the right questions, then when I and others fill them in someone comes along calling ya names and telling the OP " do it your way, it's your build etc " That is NOT answering his questions at all so no help

Just really funny , oh well Thats the world we live in today
have to put up with them

 

[cyra117]

If it wasn't clear, I'm going to try the bilstiens I got, if not I have another stock KJ they will go on, and try the part numbers you gave me. I'll let you know how it turns out.


The tie rods, Ball Joints, and Sway bar bushings/links showed up today. Now i get to sit and wait for everything else

Isn’t Holiday shipping great? Grrrr!
