For the stacking of spacers, did you find these lined up well and did you have have any negative effect? Where did you get your 30mm's at?

Try this for where to find spacers

Try this for where to find spacers

I already have my 30mm's. ...Just want to know his supplier to ensure the 10mm OME will stack flush.

What springs are you guys running that you want 30mm spacers?

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

Paul have you had spacers this whole time and lead us all to believe that your suspension was just magical?

 

[apeterson]

I had no issues with the spacers. I bought one set at Slee and another Man-A-Fre. It was nice for the height but did nothing for load capacity

No, I havent had spacers since I took them out and swapped in the first set of springs. Spacers are long gone. Look at the date of that post.

I had spacers when i first bought the truck prior to putting in a real suspension.

Sure, Paul....

Dont you drive a Jeep now?!

The price of an AEV wrangler, the safety of an FJ40 and the company who's building it seems to keep getting into trouble with buyers. Sounds perfect. Not to mention no top or doors and that's the only one that exists. The best way to get companies to do what you want is to vote with your money. I'm sure Toyota is eying those 300k annual JKUs and trying to figure out how to snag some for themselves.

Now to totally contradict myself, this fj45 shortened troopy would be worth switching back to the chosen brand.

Hijack over.

Just had the pleasure of reading your thread. I have the same truck (champagne color and all) and just ordered the OME 2.5" kit so it was great to read all this going into it. Thank you for taking the time to write this up.

Do you actually take that jeep off road? or is it a mall queen?

Jeep off road? Why would I do that?

 

[RobRed]

by the way Klaus TrekBoxx has a JKU system now. Just sayin.

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

The payload on the jeep is only 1000lbs. So I could only get a half drawer. I actually just ordered a Tuffy drawer. My wife wouldn't let me build another set.

 

[RobRed]

Actually the new gen Trekboxx systems are quite a bit lighter than gen 1. David created a folding sleep platform for it and other cool tricks. You're already down the road on a drawer but if someone else with a Jeep (in a Land Cruiser Forum) needs....

System Bravo for Jeep JKU
