Unlevel my lift kit

[bobthetj03]

Wow! You guys are amazing. I may have just discovered a bigger time sponge than Facepage. Ha Ha! bobthetj03, I am VERY interested in your offer. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but free sounds too good to be true. Did you upgrade? Are they "tired?" If they're good springs, box 'em up and ship 'em! Just send me the price and your address, I'll send you mine.

The beauty of OME springs is they don't sag, much. These are 10 years old, and have sagged 0.25". @ac_ was kind enough to send me his 942's which were fresher than mine, so that is why I have the spares. Up to you brah. No skin off my back if you want to try other options. Shipping might be pricey from Cali to you.

Shoot me a PM with your address and I can calculate shipping for you.

Spent 4 years in CA myself. 5th grate to 8th grade in the Bay Area. San Pablo. Don't know what button to PM. Gotta get to bed now. 4 am comes early. Catch up with you tomorrow.

Yeah...longer control arms, bump stops, shocks and drive shaft. I get it. I already installed longer shocks in preparation for it. Here are pics of the work I was telling buildbreakrepeat about. I put a level on the studs beforeView attachment 143431 and after tying the mason twine. I can show closeups of the bubbles if necessary. The pictures will show that when the axles are level, the body is level. Perhaps the 3/4" spacer on top of the front springs is what you are referring to.

thats exactly what i'm talking about the rear is holding almost no lift. if you had the +2" it is supposed to hold you'd be where you want to..................taller in the rear with a slight rake. the thought of going up to a +4" is not a suggested option and will cause drive line issues.

I am anxiously awaiting a shipping quote. It can't be near as much as the price of new ones PLUS shipping.

You still want to get those springs out of your garage? If not, I can get new ones from Amazon Prime for $181.39 free shipping by Wednesday. Not trying to sound snotty, just haven't heard from ya in a while.

That's cool. No worries.

Wow! What a difference! The picture doesn't do justice, because the red skyjacker spring is a little in the foreground, but the "not so fresh" OME springs are a half an inch taller and have 2 more coils. The change in my profile (rake) after installation is barely noticeable, but when I got in it I had to adjust my rear view mirror! Best of all, I am no longer bottoming out. Huge shout out to bobthetj03 for helping out a fellow jeeper!
