OME rear coils
Wondering how I can find a good place to purchase rear coils springs (OME) I have called Mike and left messages... Does anyone know where else to buy?
Also I raised the front 2 " will the 891 or 892 level this out? Jst springs no spacers.
Also should I have and aligment after putting front spacers in the struts? It seems to drive straiter then before, but feels light in the curves
Waht should OME 891 or 892 cost?

I spent around $600 for all my OME stuff and I think the 891s were around $125 a pair.
Good luck!

Another option is Rocky Road Outfitters. They're buds of my brother, so I got my bumper and OME springs from them. Good guys and fair prices. http://www.rocky-road.com/suspensions.html

I purchased mine from Wheeler's Off Road. I have purchased a lot of parts from him and they were always on my doorstep in a few days. I have also been able to get a hold of him every time I have tried.
With 2" of lift in the front and OME 891's on the rear, your rear will be at least an 1" higher than the front if not more. If you are going to put the 891's on I would recommend that you load up the back with some weight; hi-lift, tools, recovery gear, etc. The weight will lower you down about 1/2"-3/4" and make the ride much smoother. Just my Opinion and experience

Tarheel performance
I bought my OME hd springs and OME shocks from Ron at tarheel performance in Charlotte. (704) 598-1000 Seemed to be good guys. I think it was $130.00 or so for the coils, same for shocks. But it has been a while.
Something to keep in mind though, The OME does not send a extended brake line with it. Some say ya dont need it but I think otherwise. I flipped the brackets over that hold the line on the axel and that made up about 3 or 4 inches of play on the line, but now the line is not hugging the axel also. Not a big deal if ya stay on cut trails, but could get bad if ya hit the sticks in the woods. One in the right spot could possibly kink the line and that could be bad. Has not happened to me, but I go slower in the sticks than I do in the rocks. (had bad experience running a bulldozer when clearing land one time, 14 inch thick twig shut down a D8 for about a week)
