Susp. mod input please

Hi Guys,

This is the gear a reputable retailer has said will be top stuff in the XJ. I will be running 31x10 Baja Calw Radials.

This is my first lift.

What do you guys reckon? Is it good gear, it's pricey but I want quality gear the first time.

BTW I'm in Oz so the part No's may not apply

Thanks in advance

OMEU57 - OME longer u-bolts
RE1334 - RE coil spring spacers
RE1383 - 3" Front bumpstops

RE1515 - Rear s/steel brake line
RE2700 - RE extended greasable shackles

MP/TIEROD - Tie Rod End (genuine)

Thats good equipment. The ques. Is how "pricey"? That will let us know if your gettin ripped or not.

Quoted $2500($1800US)

It is not unusual for Aus. item to be 50 - 100% more than what you guys pay.

So whatever you think this gear is worth add 75% and that will give me a more realistic Aus. value

Thanks

Oh, This is cheaper than another quote of $2870US(moore gear though)

I'm probably getting confused, but it just appears that you'll have a lot more lift in the rear than in the front.

The front OME coils are listed for 2" of lift. The you have some spacers, height unspecified, but most are 1-3/4". So you're at 3-3/4" in front.

It was my understanding that the standard OME rear leaves were good for 2" and the heavy duty were 3". Then you're adding extra leaves, and then to that you're adding shackles. I don't know what that's all going to add up to, but I suspect it's going to be higher than the front.

Also, I see an extended brake line (hose) for the rear, but I don't see longer brake hoses for the front. At almost 4" of lift ... you need longer front brake hoses.

Thats about 50% more then what it would cost in the US. The full blowen kit with good quality parts runs 800-1k easy.

Also may want to look into a Slip Yoke Elminator ot T-case drop kit.
