Need advices with suspensions...

[somewhereinla]

One of the great things with forum is you get to learn a lot from other people with more experience than you do. The draw back is that you often get conflicting advises... However it seems that most people on the AEV forum are very knowledgeable and it's a smaller size forum so I thought I would post my question.

I have a JK 2dr rubi with stock tires.
After installing the AEV bumper and winch I opted to put on an OME lift. I wanted something that wouldn't be more that 2.5", so I installed the Heavy load springs on the front to compensate for bumper/winch weight and the light load springs in the rear. I also replaced all the shocks with EMU's shocks. I always assume than with the OME kit, especially the light load one, you didn't need to either add a track bar relocation bracket nor did you need to add adjustable track bars ( front and/or rear). However I am reading posts of people saying otherwise...

I really want to get this right and avoid breakage or problems in a the distant future.

Please let me know what you think.

cheers.

Heard this issue over here. There is a thought that you don't really need too with a 50mm lift which is what the Old man emu one is supposed to be. Many over here in Australia have been getting substantially more lift than that however and on that basis i would be at least putting a rear bracket on as i believe is now standard with Old man emu kits. Not sure if this bracket would suit Lhd vehicles as it was designed for Rhd vehicles so you'd be better of purchasing one from an American company.

Any amount of lift is going to change the vertical component of force on the brackets which is what breaks them off. We've raised the roll center so much that our brackets won't fit with the OME springs, but there are probably some aftermarket brkts out there that would fit.

I think OME has one:

Would a rear adjustable track bar achieve the same thing? Should I do the front as well?
