which OME spring setup to get...

[sota]

measured the door.
frame is 77.5" high (so not a 7' opening)
door height at full open is 75"
I can probably get that 2.5" back if I figure out how to adjust the door opener.

Holy crap, I'm 75" from head to heel. With shoes on, I'd be a banging my noggin....oops, forgot to duck again!!

 

[sota]

not my fault your parents forgot to strap bricks to your head when you were a kid.

I do have my unfair share of battle scars on my head. There's a lot of low-hanging stuff in this world! lol

 

[sota]

just did another measurement, with the jeep positioned so the roof rails were as close to the door as possible...
3.5" from top of rails to bottom of door.
5 7/8" from the top of rails to door frame.

something tells me I'm going to be scraping the rails on the door if I'm not careful.

I think your garage could use a lift kit.

 

[sota]

you'd have to lift my whole house up first.
both garage bays are under the house.

Now you know why I want to build a workshop with 8'x10' doors.

 

[sota]

god, this jeep is costing me a crapload of $ this year.

It will never end lol Just Empty Every Pocket

Sota, do you have any pics of your KJ with those tires and no lift? I didn't think you could run that size with stock suspension.

When I ran the math it came up that I had a 50/50 shot of them not rubbing. I will say this... TIRE DESIGN has A LOT to do with whether they will or will not rub. The Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure tires are more AT/MT than a regular "street" tire. That's the part that is just making contact. If I'd chosen a more street tire (like the Firestones I was looking at) I most likely wouldn't have any rub at all. That all being said I'm pretty sure my front springs are sagging a bit as well. At one point I was considering going with straight stock diesel springs rather than something like OME. But I've heard such great reports from the OME setups that I decided to go for that route instead.

I've seen 235-70-16's rub on the wheelwells. But like Sota stated it depends on tire brand / style of tread etc.
John 317 came in to my place to do the lift with worn 245-75-16s, wasn't enough room for a nose hair in front but he was running them. So yes it can be done, is it a good idea? No sooner pr later you are going to have to cross a curb etc just the right way and by by flare :icon_lol:

 

[gfunkatoa]

One should never, I repeat never let the ability to park in a garage limit the amount of lift you run on your vehicle.

 

[sota]

One should never, I repeat never, take the advice of someone who says "never, I repeat never."
And also drops a comma.
