EmptyV Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 So it seems kind of hard to find a definitive answer to this question so I ask: How much lift do the OME 923 front and 922 rear springs add? I've got a 2WD 2001 QX4 without an ARB bumper/winch. Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 now that its all settled in, I'd say i got like 1.5" up front and i got over 2" in rear with the ome922 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 With the OME HD (923?) coils, you should expect a settled height of about ~1.5-1.75" up front and ~1.75-2" in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyV Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I really don't understand why everything says 0.5" and 0.75" lift springs. Is it really that difficult to give the proper dimensions? I'm going to order my 922's right now, woot woot!

EmptyV Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) yes, actually it is. because the same springs will lift different trucks different amounts. you drive a 2WD so the numbers are going to be different from FUELER's. search harder: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=7192 If searching harder means going through 11 pages then f-that. I think a search engine that brings up relevant posts opposed to entire threads would make things much easier and the board in general wouldn't have to answer the same question 10x.

EmptyV Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 from the THIRD POST in that thread: I must have skipped over that one I wonder if his 2002 is identical to mine because the ride height could be different right? Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Billy, with your QX4 being 2WD, it could pretty badass to make your rig a serious desert runner. Just a thought, but it has some definite potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinQX4 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 From what I could tell, the OME springs are actually about 1/2" taller than stock. The balance of the lift comes from a different compression rating. I think each of the options are physically like this, but have higher compression rates.

EmptyV Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 So how much of a pain will it be to add the spacers after the rig is all put together? I'd be stoked if I don't need the spacers. Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Spacers aren't so much a necessity as a preference. If you don't mine a little rake in your rig's stance, go without spacers. If you want a more level stance, go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 With the OME HD (923?) coils just wanted to correct this - OME923 is a medium front coil, ome928 is the HD front coil. (rocky road has them mislabeled, causing confusion all over the www) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler should be shipping those out in the next few days Last year my buddy and I changed out my shocks and struts and had to deal with the springs. That was a pain in the ass for the first side, I think it took about 4 hours. Once we figured out the passenger's side and the smoke cleared it only took us about 30min for the driver's side. We had no idea how to use the spring compressor but figured out that it's much easier if you let them do the work for you. Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 *my "vocabulary" is so small* spring compressors. i was doing my rears and the spring compressor finally broke and let go, luckily the spring was already positioned in place so it just shot right into the groove where it belonged!!! That was the cherry on top of breaking the bumpstop bolt, boy was i happy to toss those spring compressors into the GARBAGE where they belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are ticking bombs and scared the sh!t outta me when I was messing with them. I just got an email from Steven @ Rugged Rocks, the 922's are back ordered till May 5th, I'm bummed!

FUELER Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 hahahaha me an InfinQX4 probably got the last ones they had nah just kidding, im sure they get shipments all the time (from Australia to Washington state) cause the springs actually have the manufacture date on the sticker and mine were from March 09!!

InfinQX4 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 RockyRoad told me they were on like a 4 week backorder when I originally ordered from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
