Nearly new (mileage, not time) OME (DPG) 3.5 rear leafs with matching shocks.
XJ is bottoming out on nearly any bumps. Yes, I have rear tire carrier, HiLift, Rotopax and recovery gear loaded. The spring appear flat to me. Missing rear driver's side bumpstop. But it does it with that stuff not onboard.
Looking for recommendations to replace the rear springs, possibly the shocks and definitely get new bumpstops. Looking at Rubicon Express springs but they say 3.5" will accommodate 31" tires - I have 33 x 10.5s, albeit with trimmed fenders and Rusty's steel fender/flares.
The upper shock mount has been relocated per instructions from DPG at install.
Simply measure distance between mounts to determine shock length needed?
3.5" Springs?
Shocks?
Bumpstops? Don't care if they're rubber, poly, del-a-lum.. whatever.
Diagnostic technique advice welcome as well.
Have had this issue for a couple years and ended up parking it for the most part. Elk hunting the past few weeks made me really want it setup correctly, it's just too well built to let this take it out of service.
Thanks in advance. I'm not much of a member these days due to this (I think I'm still enrolled/paid) but want to get back on this thing.
