1999 daystar 2.5 front and ome 906 rear?
So ordered the 2.5 daystar kit from wheeler and an option was hd springs. Well the springs they sent were ome 906 and im concerned that it will look saggy in the rear. I call them twice and the say the sell lot of this combo and it will sit level. What are my options if it dosent , new spring , spacer ins rear. i have 285s sitting in the garage and don't want to put it on if it wont be right.

I had to add a daystar 1.5" spacer under my '99's 906 OME coils. The rear now sits approx. 1/2 in. higher empty. But I load my rig up a lot so it's good for me.
It was real saggy with just the new coils.

Some info.
OME Info: "I am giving you the approximate lift heights, your exact amount of lift will vary slightly depending on the condition of your current springs. The front heights are respectively: 880=1.25", 881=1.75" & 882=2.25" and the rears are: 906=2.0", 890=2.75" & 891=3.0" . The 882's are not an ARB/ OME recommended fit, but our experience has shown that they work well with some applications. " (info given from 4X4 Connection)
It appears that with a 2.5" spacer up front and 906s you will have the rear low by about 1/2".
Personaly I would and did replace my front springs instead of spacers.
