jeep tj ome spring question
I have a 97 4.0 wrangler with a 2" RE spacer budget boost with dt3000
shocks. Im running 33s currently with a 1" body lift. I am looking
into a warn m8000 winch but i do not want the front to sag, as the
front is somewhat lower than the rear as it is now. Would adding Old
Man Emu front coils (2.5-3") to ONLY the front end level off with a
winch and work fine? Could i Keep my dt3000 shocks with the longer
front coils?
thanks

Re: jeep tj ome spring question
My Warn HS9500i lowered my front bumper a full inch on stock Rubicon
coils. I would imagine the 8000 would be close to that. If it were me
doing what you propose, I would do a complete spring lift and use
spacers to even things out _if_ necessary, not vice versa.
The DT shocks were purchased to fit _what_ size lift? Ask RE what lift
range they will fit...you might get to keep them.
