Do you have it mounted on top?

Just stuck on the rubber ring, going to throw some slinky coils in the rear once I remember to call them up and order a set for the rear. What length slinkies would be the same ride height as the J's I have? like the 3in slinky?

just remember to see if the lower and the upper control arms don't bind in the factory mounting brackets!
also, the rear sway bars need attention to as well..the factory bracket up on the frame does not like to be flexed...so beef it up or get some land tank ones.

75mm 7501 is intermediate. Rate is 160/270
After reading several threads, the general consensus is equal in ride height of an OME 863 non J coil but approx 3" taller in free height.
