So they are 1" lift? All around? I thought you wanted to fix the rake and front sagging? They do look nice!
Front spring sag
- Thread starter CptnMurica
- Start date
Front down 1” The rear is down 2”Decided to start with 4 new 1” all around see what happens. I am banking it’ll be close. I think these are a little stronger also. But I don’t know for sure. It’s like 2” difference between front and rear. I have A full size spare being warrantied. A bit more weight in rear eventually.
My original plan til I measured rear. Idk I’m trying. I figured new h r. Seemed highly recommended here.
I would install the whole set get your 1 inch lift and get 1 inch aluminum spacers for the front
Right. That’s my thinking. Get the new 1” ones on. See where it’s at and adjust. Or maybe they will breath new life and be close. Gotta see.

Same vendor for the spacers I got, but I only went 1". I've been considering buying a set of 2" for the front and swapping the 1" into the rear.
Yes all 4 1”. The rear was sagging 2”. Figured sit would be close.
The ranchos are for up to 1” lift so all should be good. Rides a little firmer but feels good.

Shocks will still work with more lift,just have to use bar pin eliminators,will make em act a little longer
Well crap thought I was gonna have a break from the madness. I’ll look into that. :/
Ranchos are perfect for 1-2" lift. They are long out of the box, you definitely don't want them longer with bar pin eliminators.
That’s what I thought. Rated for up to 1”. And one place from Rancho said they got some built in fudge. I’m at 3/4 prob settle a little bit. Surely it’ll be fine. I have 4 3/4” roughly exposed shaft. Rolled one of the fronts high a couple feet. Everything still had plenty of shock left. Seemed.
I had Old Man Emu 933 on the front. With miles, a skinny front bumper, a synthetic line winch, and ARB rockers they had saged down to 1.3” of lift from the original 2”.
I just installed a set of very reasonably priced Superlift 4” front springs. These are setting at 3.5” of lift. The stance is dead level with the heavy load Old Man Emu rear springs carrying a hefty spare on a swing carrier. I hope the front springs drop down a bit as I am still on stock control arms and didn’t really want new shocks Just yet.

Awesome looking Jeep and absolutely love the colour, what size tyres are those? How your experience has been so far on these springs? Any vibration or handling issues so far? Are you still using factory track bars with this setup? Have you made any adjustments to the drive line and bump stops?
I am planning to do the exact same set up but without a winch at the front. Mine is the same factory soft top with half doors everything on it is stock and no extra weight added, wondering if lift will stay around 1” or below with H&R springs
. Ideally I would like to stay at stock height, since my plan is to use 235/75/R15 or 30/9.50R15 and don’t want it to look funny with excess lift
