ok guys, help me finish my suspension
help me out and give me some recommendations on best ways to finish up. The truck will be mostly street driven, throwing on some 32s or 33s when the susp is done
BOUGHT:
OME HD 901 rear coils
RB 1" BL
Aisin hubs
** do I need a pan-hard bracket with these springs?
NEED:
ball joint spacers for front
** what brand is best? should I go 1", 1.5" or 2" w/ minimal T-bar cranking?
shocks = I am looking at either downey or rancho shocks for the front/rear - need suggestions on what works, I dont know much about shocks
any other recommendations are appreciated!
thanks

1" BL
1.5" spacers
.5" T-bars
any idea if the pan-hard is needed with the OME901s?
thanks

Give me an e-mail sales@sdori.com if you'd like some spacers milled down. I can do it for you, it will cost some more but not a lot. I'll also need to get new hardware for 'em.
Basically the spacers are all made up and are 1.5". I basically would take a pair and shave them down myself.

You need to talk to a member on here called Scofco. He did the 901's also. He told me that he didnt need a pan hard drop. I am also doin the 901's sometime next week. Lemme know how it goes.

I just installed OME900s with OME shocks (N98 front, N72F rear)... this rides SMOOTH...
with the 1.5" BJ spacers, I got 2" of lift (before alignment). I didn't adjust the torsion bars at all... and I had 2-2.5" of lift all the way around...
My lift consisted of:
Aisin hubs,
OME Shocks,
OME Coils,
BJ Spacers,
and some Poly sway bar bushings (not yet installed)..
