Ok, I have been mulling this over a LOT and I am down to 2 choices.

Either-

SAW's on the front, with longer shackles and bilstein 5100's in the back.

OR-

A complete OME setup with firm shocks.


I like the SAW's, but I am in AZ and want a flexy suspension for the rocks. From what I have read, it seems that the SAW's may be a little on the stiff side for my needs.

Opinions needed!!

I think you can get different spring rates for the SAW's...don't quote me. Call Mike @ http://www.xtremeoff-road.com/home.htm

I just got the complete OME kit and wouldn't trade it for SAW's. You can get SAW's and OME leafs. I would talk to Mike.

You could give Steve's setup a shot for the front end if you want something flexy for the rocks. Its tried and tested!

I am going for the OME firm setup all around this spring if that helps.

Sorry it took a while to get back to this forum, I had to go out of town for a while. Anyway I think I have decided on the OME setup through xtreme offroad after much thought.

Thanks for all the help guys.

I'll post pics when I get it done

OME springs are pretty stiff IMO, I'm not sure about SAWS, but I think from what I read is that OME springs are stiffer than SAWS.

GRNTACO

If I remember right the OME coils were 500lb and the SAW were 575lb spring rates.

The original SAWs used 650 lb springs and the later ones used 675 lb.

For the buck you can't beat OMEs all around as you can get the WHOLE kit and kaboodle for just what the SAWS cost. My ride is great with the OME and much better than stock ever was!

Just one bit of trivia- if you add aftermarket bumper and/or winch to your front end, its nice just cranking down on the SAWs to get your lift back...
