OME 900 and Rancho 5000 series shocks?

I just put some Rancho 5000 series shocks on the front and back. I was just wondering if the OME 900's would work alright with these shocks or if I would run into issues. Any help would be great! Thanx

Shawn

The 900s will lift the back around 2'' so you might be pushing the limits for the shock.

The only problem i could see is over extending the shock when the suspension droops down.

I am considering the same setup, already have the 5000s.. Did you go with it?
I am looking to get rid of the factory rear sag and will be towing a trailer. Wondering how the OME-900s work/look with no lift or cranking of the torsion bars in the front.

I just went with the Moog coil springs this weekend in fact! lifted it right back up to stock height. I measured from rim edge to wheel well edge and it went up from 10" to 12". My ass was dragging bad!! Up front I measured from the same spots and it sits at 14". I might adjust the torsion bars down to 13" or 13 1/2". Not sure what original stock height is on those. Anyone know? I just blasted the bolts today so maybe Ill adjust them tomorrow.

The moog 255? Just looked them up? 72$ + shipping at rock auto. What did you pay? Also did you previously raise the torsion bars and now backing down. Because I think you'll get a different measurment cause the wheel wells are cut higher up front. Might want to recheck before you mess with the torsion bar if so. But anyway if the moogs do the same as ome 900's for half the cost I may do the same. I'm definitly not looking for a lift just want to even things out. Although I swear my rear lifted with new ranchos I just put on.
