Mine too... have you heard any timeframe for when they are supposed to arrive stateside? I was hoping to have mine in time for my trip to Paragon in a little over 2 weeks.

Ditto

 

thanks, and they are for the front coilover. I used extra spacers to level out the front sag a little. I still have a little more sag than I wanted, and unfortunately it's only gonna get worse with my new bumper.

jacksonpt, Mike said the bumpers should be getting stateside at the end of June. which by my calandar puts em here around now. I talked to Mike last wed. and he said they still haven't come in yet!

 

you may also need OME Trim packers for the rear eventually. once the OME springs start to sag and settle about .5 inch, these help regain that lost lift. Those are what I 'll be installing first thing saturday morning. my ome's settled about .75" lower after about 10 months.

 

They look like the ones for the rear, not the fronts. When I ordered my OME's, Mike also sent both front and rear packers. The fronts are much smaller than that, and fit at the bottom of the shock, between the plate on the shock and the black cup. The big ones go on top of the rear coils.

Maybe they will fit up at the top of the front coil assy. though, not sure.

 

That's actually where we put those spacers. As you can see here where this weird looking asian guy with curly hair is holding. -_-







Here it is with it actually inside.

 

OK cool, glad they fit for ya!

 

Sweeeeeet... I can't wait.

 

mertztr- I had those made for the fronts. I probably shoulda gone with a 1/2" spacer, instead of a 1/4" but oh well. Maybe someday I will get SAWs. or SAS it!


Rob, damn who is that ugly kid?

 

He doesn't speak much, the way it looks anyway, is he from Houston? Because that is a "signature" hand gesture here. It's how most people say "hello, nice day, eh?" to other drivers.

 

that's my Jeep wave!

 

Ohh, ok, custom made spacers make much more sense!

 

mertztr, did you think they were the trim packers?

sorry for the mistake! I've never seen trim packers, so I don't know what they look like!

The spacers were actually VERY well made. They even had grooves for there the screws sat lower.

 

Haha, no my bad, I started reading later replies about trim packers and got the two confused.

Now that I think about it you would need a bunch of trim packers to level out a front to back thing, they're most often used to level out side to side differences. They're probably not more that 1/4" think.

 

The lift looks great! Hey do you have any close up shots of your grill? I might modify mine like yours and id like to see what it looks like up close.

 

theres my grill

 

I'll snap some phtoto's this afternoon and post them here. I got two sitting on my workbench in the garage. they're nothing special, just a 10mm thick yellow polyuretane ring cut to the OD and ID of the top of the rear spring. OME is extremely proud of them since they charge about $10 each. They are available in 5mm thick and 10mm thick. I don't know off hand if you can get thicker ones. got mine from mike at Xtreme

 

I'm not familiar with trim packers... can someone explain exactly what they do, and how they do it?

 

Pictures can speak louder than words...

This is from sschaefer's site on the rear coil install, scoll about half way down this page to see what a rear trim packer looks like and how it fits the coil...

 

So a trim packer offers no functional difference than a really short spacer would? To oversimplify things, a trim packer is a 10mm spacer? I'm guessing you'd use a trim packer to level out a vehicle, while a spacer would be used to get more lift, generally speaking?

 

Hey Jackson,

Yeah that's basically it. Both packers and spacers do the same thing, but they tend to be referred to a spacers when you're talking larger scale.
