Rear spring options
Hey guys I want to lift the rear of my rig cuz it sags but i got some ?s regarding the different springs.
The first spring i looked at was the Downey HD which comes with the extended brake line and panhard bracket. these are 1.5 lift springs and run a lil over 200 bucks
well the all-pro springs sell cheaper at 150 and say they lift 1.5 inch and are 20% stiffer then stock which well should be better cause they cost less well they dont say anything about the brake line or the panhard braket... is it safe to assume they dont come with these parts they downey feel are needed.
and i also found OME rear springs for 160 (they always sell single) does anyone know how much lift they provide as the description does not say or if they are a higher spring rate over stock... but they also dont say anything about the bracket or longer brake line.
DO i really need these two parts for 1.5 inch lift springs? if so why is downey the only one who offers them with there springs? and advice on which springs and about the brake line and panhard relocation bracket will be great as im so lost as to save some money and see if the other springs come with them or not or to just buy the downeys

you can get away with no panhard adjustments and no brakeline extentions on only 1.5" of lift.
I put 2" coils on mine and whilst the axle will move - you can get away with no panhard adjustments.
Also brake lines are still within there limits.
If you feel happier with the adjustments made then go for the downey ones, You probably wont go too far wrong with either set.
(i got no experiance running them, Just that my truck didnt need anything for a 2" coil)
