if you are running stock springs, you will not want to get OME shocks, b/c from what i have been told, those shocks are ment to olnly be used with their springs. I am getting some spacers this week, and i am going to order Bilstein shocks to go with them. Thats what i would go with if i were you

I am going to get OME Coils and Shocks in the back, and 2.5 inch spacers and bilsteins up front. If i were going to get the OME's up front, i would go with comfort ride. I am in Buckhead, of I-75 at Mt. Paran. I can give you a hand installing your lift if your want, and if you want even more help, Zman2day is helping me with mine, so i bet Zman and I could help with yours. I know i am willing to do whatever

If you use OME shocks & coils in the rear I would use the stiff OME shock in the front as well with the CB spacer & the stock spring.

I think it would be better to keep the shocks the same. All Bilsteins.
