Trialsin26 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 :confused: I have already lifted my rear with OME springs and Shock, and now I’m about to start on the front. Question? Should I get the medium or heavy duty spring? I have medium in the rear. Questions? Also since I’m replacing the springs should I go ahead and replace the struts and strut mounts?

Flyer Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I've been told by OME retailers that the heavy duty will be too stiff got the front unless you have a heavy duty bumber and a winch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Man Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Flyer's right. Definitely stick with the medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick1716 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 if it was me i would just replace the strut at the same time too..i didnt when i put my spacers in and now i need new struts but i dont wanna deal with that again...it was a pain in the hiney (for me atleast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 When you say spacers, are those used in conjunction with say the OME set up to get added hight? If not what are they used for. Still Learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 no OME springs...just 2 inch lift spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Is there a set for both front and back? If so could you use them with OME suspention? Would it cause any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 not sure what you mean by set for frong and back...theres 2 spacers for the back and 2 for the front.. as far as using it with the OME springs im not sure how that would do cuz i dont know how much the OME alone lifts it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 from what I have heard it lifts it about an inch or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 then yea it should probably work.... cuz i hear the AC lift ends up bein about 3, so i dont see why you couldnt use the 1 inch ome springs and 2 inch spacers itd equal out to be 3 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialsin26 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 ...or you could use the AC lift and spacers and get about 5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosspbig Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 You could do that but it would put your front end components at a very extreme angle. without manual hubs you would be breaking alot of stuff on the trail i imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96pfinderSE Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yea the lift and spacers are risky. I advise not to do that. Ross is right about the angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialsin26 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) It was just a dream . Anyway I have a 2 Wheel drive and my 1 inch lift is good for me. Edited February 8, 2005 by Trialsin26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Do you think that the spacers with the OME suspention would put too much of an angle on the CV boots, and cause problems? If I did it I would get warn manual hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Now I think about it, where did you get the spacers that you have, and how much did they cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 there custom... im gonna be selling them soon cuz im gettin the AC lift...i need some heavier duty springs for towing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwrounds Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have never heard of those spacers. Just a couple of questions. Where do you get them? How much? and do they work with stock springs, and monroe shocks and struts? I just had those shocks and struts installed less than a year ago. They are supposed to be pretty tough, however the right rear already blew up once. thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96pfinderSE Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Nick how much you gonna want for the spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If you made them where did you get the parts, and what are they made of? After I put the OME springs on I would not mind adding an extra inch or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
