Ride height

Most all of the OME lift stuff is on now and she looks a bit jacked up in the rear.... I get center of axle to lip of flare measurement of ~20.75 front and just a smidgen over 20.5 in the rear with maybe a little under 100lbs of junk in the back. From what I find this sounds just right and that I netted just a bit over 3" (17.5" front 17" rear is stock???). Is this right and I just had gotten used to looking at it with those worn out no longer arched rear springs?
On a side note since the shocks SW sent were too short I had to drive it shockless..... thats kinda neat Once I got used to it it weren't so bad just like driving a boat on choppy water :confused1 Now if the sway bars were disconnected that'd be another story..

LOL I drove my SOA MJ with the shox upside down for 1000 miles :dunce: it was interesting...

I'd suspect the Emu rears will settle in a bit with some with use...Or you could squeeze a 3/4" spacer (or stack 2 more OEM spacers for 1/2"+-) up front to even things out.

I had a 10K Raymart winch sitting in the living room (85+ lbs) which is for my new gooseneck trailer which won't be here for 2 more weeks and with it now in the back of the XJ things look just about right :laugh3: It'll just take a day or 2 to get used to the thing actually not sagging in the rear.
