Should keep us busy for a bit....

At least a weekend!

You're missing a 2 6-packs, one of your favorite beverage and another of pb blaster/liquid wrench

mcnerd

Dumped a can on it already this week twice in preparation. That undercarriage is dripping pb blaster. Having said that it's basically rust free so I am pretty optimistic.

Lift in. Tires next. Since I pieced my own lift was a little nervous on how the stance would come out. I love it. Broke no bolts or welded on nuts on a 1989!

NICE! My '88 only broke the u bolts and a sway bar link stud when I did mine back in '11.

What leaf springs are those? Any other info about the lift?

It doesn't look level to me. The rear looks lower.

So that's OME leaf springs with Moog / spacer coils?
Did you remove a leaf in the OME or just run full

I'm trying to piece together my own shopping list and was originally thinking the Crown HD leaf -
but the reviews are not so glowing as compared to the OME.

So I was wondering if the OME w/ a leaf pulled would be level with the Moog with the spacer.

mcnerd

I agree the front looks a tad higher. I think that parking lot was not level and makes it look worse. But in fairness I do agree, just picture makes it look worse then it really is.

mcnerd

Removed a leaf.

I went with OME as I expect them to last the rest of the life of the jeep. Crown reviews seem good at the start but fail way to soon. My two cents from reading around. So I decided to spend a bit more and buy what should be a much better product. I did remove the middle leaf.

This is the Moog Upcountry Springs with a .75 Rubicon Express Spacers. Should have only netted 1.75 inch lift and the back should have been 2-2.5" of lift. So a little con-fuddled on how my front seems a hair higher??? Not so bad I am worked up about it and giving it all time to settle in.

OME springs removing the middle leaf.
Bilstein shocks
Moog upcountry coil springs
RE .75" coil spacers
Use WJ Raybestos brake lines as well. Really cheap and great quality from Rockauto. Like $8 each and they were a direct drop in. So that got me longer lines in front and back.

I was shooting for a very manageable lift that will make a great DD but also have some decent off road chops.

FAlken Wildpeak 30x9.5x15 go on the Jeep Saturday. More pics then.

In the mean time I have death wobble now at 55 mph. Hoping the new tires and a toe in alignment will fix. We will see....

Did you keep or remove the stock spring isolators when you added the spacers?
Is that a dumb question - I'm still a bit noob here - but I was reading on one of the threads where they were outlining the upcountry and he called it upcountry+?

mcnerd

I looked closer tonight. Back is definitely higher. Was just the parking lot I was in.

Will measure lift this weekend when I have time.

mcnerd

You leave stock isolators.

The moog springs are way cheaper then the OME springs.
