Default Front end sag after winch and bumber

Hello,

So I put on the Skyjacker BB first and then added the mopar offroad bumber and the warn 9.5ti winch - this caused me about a 1" drop in height in the front. Any ideas for getting the height back? JKS makes the Adjustable Coil Over Spacer - anyone try these? I am not sure about stacking spacers (adding a 3/4") - anyone try that?

Thank you,

Dale

The JKS are great, but pricey. I had two spacers stacked and had no problems. I believe other members have also added leveling spacers on top of a BB.

Default Sag

I had same issue... I went with the old man emu heavy system and that worked.... Youcan just get OME front heavy coils for around $160.00 from Northridge 4x4 and your sag will be less........ Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I was just looking at the OME HD springs as an option. Hmm...do have a BB also? I would think I would have to take the front pucks out and put in a shorter spacer.

Thank you for the input everyone,

Dale

I just added Full Traction 3" HD Springs, leveled it right up and it rides better now too. Of course I also added upper and lower adj arms and an adj trackbar.

Default Call Rusty

I lost 3/4 of an inch when I installed my ARB with SX8. I called my dealer about stiffer springs, he said I already had the HD version. I have a Rubi, unlimited.w/ a 2" BB. I didn't want to add another spacer so I called Rusty's and they recommended a set of 2" front springs. Well that was about the best decision I made. The springs leveled the front plus made the steering feel firmer.
