so some feedback on the current set up: ive had the CS033RB leafs and 930 coils with RE 1.75" spacers(forgot to reinstall the coil spring isolator) installed for 3 weeks now. rides great, not a single complaint, the rides softer than I thought it would be. im not at all disappointed with the stance as it gives enough room for the 245/75 DURATRACs on moabs.
Before and after on my '99. Bottom is with DPG OME 2.5" lift, JKS track bar + discos, Currie control arms, AA SYE and Tom Woods drive shaft. Oh, it's on 235s. Does anyone know if ARB makes a slightly taller/stiffer coil? I'm really happy with the ride, even at speed, it's way better than my stock (worn out) setup.
Thanks for the info. How tolerable is the ride with the 2934s?
No personal experience with them, but they should be fine, probably not as smooth and forgiving as the 2930's. The are for the Grand Cherokee with the V8, made to handle more weight. Someone else on this thread said they were using them, and liked the ride. I am assuming you have the 2930's?

Yes, I’ve got 2930s. I’ll take a few measurements to see if 2934s can work. Otherwise I’ll pick up a spacer for the front.

In the pic you posted the front looks slightly lower than the rear, but not much. Did you take measurements? Is there a coil specer in the front or just the coil?
and in the rear you must have the cs003rb with one leaf removed?

I’ll measure tomorrow. No coil spacer, and I removed the recommended leaf.

Hi Mike,
I just took some measurement w/ tank half full. Top of differential tube to unibody sill:
Left front: 7.75"
Right front: 8.00"
Left rear: 9.38"
Right rear: 9.00"
Wheel center to bottom of fender flare:
Left front: 19.50"
Right front: 19.00"
Left rear: 20.75"
Right rear: 20.25"
Judging by axle tube measurements, it seems that I've gained ~1" in front, and ~3" in the rear.
External measurements look like ~1.38" in front, and ~3" in the rear.
This helps to illustrate just how flat the leafs had become. I'm thinking that the front should be raised.
Looks like 1.25" off from front to back. If the leafs are new they might settle a little. Not sure how old they are, and if you carry weight in the back. Maybe someone else will chime in on advice to how much, if any they settle.
If it were me I would put coil spacers in if I did anything. From the pics it doesn't look bad, but pics don't always show the severity of things. You could go the route of putting the 2934 coils in, but they are $169 vs $35 for the spacer.

Thanks for the info, Mike. The leafs are brand new, and I'm hoping that they settle a bit.
From the outside, things don't look too bad, but while driving I do feel the angle. Also noted that I need to aim headlamps up a bit.
Do you know what increments spacers come in? Do you have any suggestions? It looks like ARB has a 10mm one. Not sure what else is out there. If the best solution is to replace the coils, I can do that. I plan on keeping this rig for quite a while. I can ebay the 2930s.

you could do a 1.75" coil spacer which seems to be the popular choice with the 930 coils. theres 1" spacer, .75" spacer, and then theres the trim spacer by OME. I believe you can get a 2" as well. if you scroll up- youll see my XJ that has the 930s with a 1.75" spacer in the front with no coil spring isolator. I also run a full rear pack with no leafs removed. theres a slight rake in the pics but I put a couple thousand miles on it and its settled a bit. rides great, not too firm at all- glad it doesn't as its my daily and kid hauler.

Your rig looks pretty balanced. A hint of rake is what I'm looking for. I'll likely add a spacer. Having said that, the rig handles like a dream!
I had an ome 2.5 kit and ended up taking it all off except for the leafs. Ended up w re springs 4.5” up front and added a 2” shackle in rear w bilstein shocks and it rides way better now
