DesertRat1991 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It would be awesome if you guys could post some before and after ride height measurements on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj92131 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I will, just got my new Ubolts today. But I'l already coming off relatively new springs. Even better from relatively new springs! Question will be which/what relatively new springs? Looking forward to the new/old measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat1991 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It'll be interesting to see how much additional rake these leafs put on non-MT trucks. I wonder if adding ZJ V8 coils up front would be a good option to help level things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It'll be interesting to see how much additional rake these leafs put on non-MT trucks. I wonder if adding ZJ V8 coils up front would be a good option to help level things out. That's exactly what I'm interested in. I am going from original (old) standard springs to these, and wondering what the best route will be for leveling the front end, assuming it needs it.

johnj92131 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Since we are talking about ride height... Here is a link to "how to measure ride height" in the DIY sections. Should help if we all measure the same thing, the same way. http://comancheclub.com/topic/11098-how-to-measure-ride-hight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's gonna be a bit before I get mine in. Still battling brake issues and it sounds like I'm going to need a new fuel pump soon. Mines getting really loud and my idle is wacky so I think it's about to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtrux Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 What's the total price, including shipping? I'm sure it varies some, just getting an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siopposition Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 With the group buy it was 170 a pack. I think my total was about 430 with shipping, but I'm a long way away from joe. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Using the top of axle tube to bottom of the frame measurement, mine was a exactly 10", now sits at 11.25" . Also seen here, truck sat level before- I got my last set of U-bolts at American Trailer Supply, made to order, $49.75 I called to get another set and they said they no longer had their bolt machine and they referred me to OG Hughes and Sons, 9/16x8 with washers and deep nuts, $25.50, grade 8. You guys should check out the heavy truck repair/accessory shops- bolts, every kind of D-ring, straps, wenches, light bars....etc....lot of this stuff can be used on Jeeps. So, I found this, dock bumpers- Will have to make up an adapter/mounting plate, but, if they can take 80,000lbs ramming a dock.......they can take a little axle action. $16 for the pair, can't beat that.

Question will be which/what relatively new springs? Looking forward to the new/old measurements General Spring standard MJ springs. The military wrap was not available at the time, 2 years ago. These new springs are MUCH better made, even the bushings are of higher quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 So I finally installed the springs, I currently have 3.5" rubicon express springs in the front and the rear is slightly higher than the front.. Depending is how long they take to settle I may drop in my spare 4.5" rubicon express coil springs to even it out... Here's the best pic I took with the set up...

What shackles are you running? So far the numbers seem to add up. My stock 4x4 sits ~1.9" higher in the rear with a camper shell mounted. Sounds like these leafs are adding +1.25-1.5". Add another ~0.5" for new JKS shackles and it looks like a 3.65-3.9" lift could be needed to level the front. The RE coils would come up just short.

Knucklehead97 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I will be ready to buy a set of these in about one month. I believe all of the group buy spots have already been filled sir. But they are still available for 200 a spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are still available for 200 a spring! Alright, I wasn't sure. The $200 per side is still a smoking deal compared to the other options out there, and all I am looking for is a ~3" lift. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
