Is yours a 4cyl?
There was someone with a 2WD 4cyl that had OMEs on there and it got alot of lift from running the springs.
The OME shocks are longer in the back but I beleive you can still run them with stock springs on-road no problem.
.....if you start flexing I am not sure what would happen.

OME shocks will work just fine with the stock springs.
