OME 2.5 lift for CJ

[yehuda]

Hi,

I got OME CS036R all over, OME Spring Bushing Kit (OMESB57) and M.O.R.E front and rear hangers.
My shackles are in very bad shape...
I would like to know which shackles are recommend in a budget of 110$?
Do I need to get shackles sleeves as well?
Do I need to add more hardware in case I will go with this?

Thx
Yehuda

If you don't mind the stockers then they can be had for a good price and work just fine for a small lift.

I don't know why but I posted to this question yesterday and it's not here. Maybe I forgot to hit "post"!

Anyways, since your using the sb57's those are for non greasable bolts. Warrior Products makes some nice sturdy shackles with and without, but the ones without g-bolts and bushings run about $54 a pair.
I'm pretty sure you'll need sleeves too, which you can get a couple places. I got mine thru OK4WD (OK Auto). The OME bushings have a larger center so you need the larger bolts to work in the sleeves. I'm thinkin' their 1/2" and the 4 stationary ones are 9/16" and the kit should have sleeves for those 4, so you'd need 8 sleeves for the others. The guys at ok4wd will be able to tell you.

I recently bought the heavy duty shackle for my CJ from Crown products. They come with bushings and sleeves plus the bonus of grease-able bolts. I got my kit a 4wheel parts out here in California for $53 bucks. These are made for your jeep and seem to be WAY better than stock. Heres the link to it.
