UMI k-member and ground control weight jacks?
 
Any issues with this combo? Anyone have some pictures? K-member is already installed. Getting ready to add some Founders caster/camber plates. Thought it might be a good idea to toss the sportlines....

Thanks,

Might have to make something to take up any difference in diameter of of the spring perch ring vs the jack, somebody did it with a bmr piece iirc and just used some heavy wall rubber tubing.

Fwiw, you would just buy a weight jack nut plate and weld it to the perch of the kemember and run the jack bolts up through the frame rail into the engine bay, not that hard to do and a lot cheaper than the GC setup.

If its set up for stock springs there will be no problem at all. I have weight jacks and they fit right in the stock pocket.

You can also do as 86TA said but there is nothing for the rear springs except ground control or fabbing something up.

When I looked at fabbing up a system with parts the savings did not make up for all the extra work and if you have your fabbed stuff powder coated there is no real savings.

Really price the parts and springs before you fab stuff together. Ground controls system is proven and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
