robbie95 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hey guys, so after completing multiple projects on the mj.. think I'm gonna start looking towards the suspension now.. Anyone have any good recommendations on a "suspension kit". I'm just looking for a good ride, not looking to lift it, just want to not bottom out every speed bump I hit lol..

krustyballer16 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Interested in opinions too. I'll be needing a good ride on my 2wd LS swap mj when it's done Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Everything I've seen and heard points to Old Man Emu being the best of the best when it comes to ride quality. It's an Australian company and they designed their kits to give the best ride for people driving across the outback. Of course that comes with the side affect that they are one of, if not the most expensive kits out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't seem excessively expensiveSent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If the goal is a better ride without a lift, you're really talking about shocks. Unless the original springs are sagged, there's not much point in replacing the springs. If you can get the rear springs off without destroying things (depends on if you live in the rust belt), new bushings in the rear springs will soften the ride without affecting the spring rate. The single most important thing for ride quality is shocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately MJs were never exported to Australia so they don't sell Comanche specific suspension parts. However XJ front coils are the same, and for their shocks you have to look for the correct length and shock ends you need for an MJ. Everything I could possibly use for my rig is from OME. I sure wish they made rear leaf springs for us; I could never find an MJ leaf spring I could cross over and use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to have the pn for what OME parts you used? You're still at stock height right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what causes when you turn a corner, it feels like its pulling you with the turn too, idk how to explain it.. Any shocks you recommend?

I'm at about 2" - 2-1/2". Front coils are OME 930, front shocks are OME N35 (if you can find them), or OME 60046, rear shocks are OME 60032 or OME N30 (also hard to find).
