hey all, I've been trying to search for an answer on this question but haven't seen any.

I am interested in getting the OME 890 springs and OME N86C shocks for the rear.
I have read that if I install the OME880 springs and OME N91SC shocks on the front, the front end will be a lot lower than the rear. My question is, if I got the HD springs in the front, do you know if that would even it out?
Also, If I decided to go with the standard spring and had to install a spacer, would that have any ill effects?

Thanks for your info,
Ryan

Ryan,

Look at this site for your questions. There are plenty of write-ups here that will answer all your questions. personally, I would use the OME891's (Heavy Duty) springs in back and go with SAW adjustable coilovers in front like I did. unless money is an issue, then I would go with the OME heavyduties gear front and rear, not the 890/880 unless you don't go offroad ever. mine runs great on the trails and great on the streets and highways.

I ran the full OME HD setup front and rear before I purchased my SAW's. I was really pleased with it. The rear did sit a little higher than the front. You could always add a spacer and a front diff drop kit from revtek...

Thanks for your replies,
The reason I didn't want to go with the HD shocks / coils is because about 85% of my driving is on the street, and I didn't need all the lift the HD shocks provide, but I still want the ability to go offroad.

go to your "user cp" at the top and "edit options" and at the bottom you can put your own avatar in there. they have to be 140x140 pixels or smaller or 10240 bytes or less, or something like that. check out those creepy wannabe ganstas website, I especially like to read the visitors comments, funny as he-ll.

I noticed that on the suspension page on ODW, alot of people are using progressive rate springs with spacers. I thought that was a no-no. I didn't think (at least with PP springs) that using spacers was a good idea.

I've noticed that alot of people try this first, I guess from their lack of research. I have seen that most people that do that and go offroading alot usually end up pulling it all out and doing it differently. That's why I did my research and decided to go ahead and do it right the first time. personally, I don't like spacers at all but if I ever do the manual hub conversion I will need to use some in the rear because I will lift the front a little more then.
