OME/DPG lift installed

benny36 · 03-15-2008, 07:51 PM

I completed all of the finishing touches on the lift today. I was able to take it offroading and it performed beautifully. I dont know why I didnt upgrade sooner.

The kit consisted of:
OME shocks
ZJ/LJ springs
3/4" spacers for the front
front and rear JKS trackbars
OME steering stabiliser
Currie Anti-rock

I have a question for you guys. The passenger side is sitting about 1" lower in the front and 1/2" in the rear, than the drivers side. Is this normal? This was the way my stock setup looked and I figured putting on new springs would take care of it.

Also my steering is a little off, any one have decent writeup to do an alignment or should i have it proffesionally done.

I'll have some pics up tommorrow.

Here is a nice write up for doing an alignment:

Im curious as to why you put a spacer in the front with the ZJ springs, I got 3" lift out of the OME ZJ springs with a winch on the front. In the rear I got about 2.75" lift. Good setup though.

For the leaning, did you follow the directions for what springs to install on what side? The springs are not equal length, each spring must be installed in a specific corner.

Heres a writeup for the alignment:

I did the same setup (minus the anti-rock) and the Jeep feels far more stable than stock.

How much lift did you actually get?

Offroad it feels very stable. It doesnt flex as much as if i had it disconnected, but too me it was just one less thing i had to mess with. Onroad theres a little more body roll in turns but nothing scary.
