Bluewulf73 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Where can I get the 1.75" OME lift springs? I have looked in lots of places and no one can fid the actual 1.75" lift springs. Everyone always asks me whether I want the mild/medium/Heavy duty springs (with .50-.75" lift) but cannot find anything else. Is there an actual part number? I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Juan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Juan I went out on a limb here by myself, and went with the iron man springs from Camel4x4. http://www.camel4x4.com/merchant2/ I will do a little review when I get them on (which was supposed to be sat, but parts didnt come in yet). But not having another AC or OME lift to compare to, it might not be a real in depth review I was going to get OME, but for the price, i went with the 1.4" OME to get the natural rake back in my R50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgallant Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Basically you get .75 over the original height with a heavier spring. So you don't tend to sag as fast or as much down the road. The only place to order who has a clue is North Shore Off Road and their price is pretty good as well. I may have this wrong but as I recall from my research there never was a 1.75 increase from new stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this thread, it was very helpful in my (continuing) adventure of lifting my R50. http://forums.nicoclub.com/suspension-lifts-101-t491011.html Not to say theres not good info here, because this forum is the best as far as R50 info goes, but I stumbled on this one, and had it referenced a few times on this board too.

erathge Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) There is only one OME option for the rear (2922) which they call medium duty. For the front springs, their is light (2921), medium(2923), or heavy (2928). Depending on how much weight over stock you have on the front (bumper, winch etc.) you will get different lift heights. I personally only have 2922 rear springs, and they raised the truck about 2.5" at the back (compared to the worn out rear springs). From what i hear from others, to get a completely level ride, you must order the heavy (2928) for the front, the light or medium will give you some rake. Different shops/websites will tell you different lift heights, but just make sure you order the right part number and you will get the correct parts.. Here is the OME catalogue. My link You will see that different front spring rates will all give you .5" lift, if you have a certain weight over stock. If you have more or less, then you will get more or less lift. That is why some shops say it is a 1.75" kit. I went out on a limb here by myself, and went with the iron man springs from Camel4x4. Make sure you take before/after measurements.. Im interested to see how much is gained with these springs... and pics of course! Edited March 27, 2012 by erathge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewulf73 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thank you all for your very helpful information. I will call NSOR and have them quote me a price. Me poor R50 needs a butt-lift... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgallant Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hey there, I have the OME on my Pathfinder and works good for most of what you will find here in BC. Good solid springs and give excellent support if you have a load in the back. If you are looking for more lift you should look at the sub frame drop.

Bluewulf73 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Hey there, I have the OME on my Pathfinder and works good for most of what you will find here in BC. Good solid springs and give excellent support if you have a load in the back. If you are looking for more lift you should look at the sub frame drop. SFD sounds good. Although it is the most costly and involved option out there, it also appears to be the best bang-for-buck and safest, most reliable lift. (no topping out, no awkward steering geometry, no stressed-out CV joints or axles.) I'm looking into it but am wondering what an install would cost. I don't have any of the tools required (except for jack stands and torque wrench) to do something like that and I don't have any buddy mechanics who could help. I now know I need shocks all-around and new springs for the rear so I need to keep the install cost down. A local retailer quoted me $800.00+ taxes for the OME springs and I just got an email from ARB in WA telling me that the OME springs won't give me more than .5" of lift, especially when fully loaded with my RTT and supplies. SFD is lookin' more and more desirable. Hmnnn. Edited March 18, 2013 by Bluewulf73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgallant Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 WOW you are getting gouged big time Rocky Road still shows them at 150 a pair - front or rear. I would suggest checking a border drop like letterlock or ship happens order from the US to the drop point and cross over and pick them up. Duty and tax might run you another 60 to 80 bucks so you have saved 400.00 That price is obscene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 sierra expeditions has ome springs as well and u can order the actual hd springs rocky rock has the MD springs listed as hd and the md springs are the light duty springs just food for thought.

ascdesigns Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) @shoesandsocks - just to be clear, I assume you meant "Rocky Road"? If so, Rocky Road does list them correctly as I just received my purchase confirmation email that includes the front and rear spring part numbers. (All Purpose) MD Front (which I specifically ordered) is OME2923, the HD is OME2928 and LD is OME2921. This corresponds correctly with the PDF linked in the above post by erathge. Just an FYI - Al Edited March 19, 2013 by ascdesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Cool they finally got it fixed i remembered there was a big stink about it and they were sending out the md rated springs for the customers ordering the hd springs they were receiving the ome 2923 springs Edited March 19, 2013 by shoesandsocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
