I know there are a ton of OME threads out there, but can't seem to find info on the following configuration:

4DR Rubicon
32" Stock BFG's
OME Standard Duty 616/617 Springs
Aftermarket Front Bumper + Winch
Aftermarket Rear Bumper + Tire Carrier

If anybody has measurements from the ground through the wheel centerline to the bottom of the fender flares, or ground to OEM rock rails, please post.

Thanks

Except fot the fact that I have a 2dr and no tire carrier, this is exactly my set up. If you have a tire carrier you should get HD spring throughout. Expect loosing about 1" on the front. If you have the no load in the back, you will loose close to 1" as well, which will make your lift somewhat unbalance... as your rear lift gain would be 1" and your front about 2".

Everything is already installed and taxing my springs, front bump stops have only about an inch of upward travel. 2.5" Superlift BB is also installed.

AFTER everything is on, my current measurements are:

36 3/4" Front
19 " To bottom of Rock Rail
37 3/4" Rear

My intention is to replace the BB with OME 616/617 springs and end up right about where I am now, but back to correct travel with factory bump stops. Maybe a little higher.

If anybody has any actual measurements on a 4DR, much appreciated.

Thanks,
D

I installed OME 616/617 coils this week on a 4 door rubicon hardtop with an AEV front bumper and Warn M8000 and netted 1.5" inch gain in the front and 1.25 inches in the back with stock tire and bumper. I have added some weight to simulate the AEV rear bumper and lost 0.25". Therefore, 616/617 coils with aftermarket front and rear bumper I would expect 1.5" front and 1" rear gain. (I also have 1" front and rear spacers, however, this height does not include them.) I must say that I am pleased with this setup as the Jeep does not drive like it has a dead elephant on the front. The drive is much better than stock and is recommended.

By the way, if you measure from the center of the hub to the lower lip of the fender you can measure the suspension gain. If you measure from the ground and change tire size, the overall height will include the tire size increase.
