2" lift springs with stock suspension??
2" lift springs with stock suspension??
So after speaking to 2 different mechanics, it appears my shocks are not that bad actually. I see most of you do the full kits, but can I just install the OME springs with stock suspension and get the 1.75" lift and be ok??
Re: 2" lift springs with stock suspension??
yeah actually thats all you can do is lift springs with stock struts... (struts in front, shocks in rear)
different companies make different color struts but they all have the same extended and compressed lengths.... the only differences is damping.
The only question is, do you want to use the existing old struts you haveon there now, or do you want to put NEW replacement ones in since you're gonna have it all taken apart anyways?? Cause it would actually be slightly LESS labor to put new springs with new struts at the same time, since you wouldnt have to disassemble the old spring/strut assemblies, just pull the whole assemblies out and throw them away.... its more work to actually disassemble your current setup, and only install springs on your existing struts...
If you buy new struts, you'd only be paying for the parts, labor should be the same or even less. (that is, if youre paying someone to do it)

I mean, I dont have time nor the money to buy everything right now and I really need springs lol. I think I am going to purchase the OME springs tomm, along 265/70/17 tires for my stocks. I may need spacers from my searching, so not sure if I should buy it also at the same time or not you know? I know its smarter to do everything at one time, but if its not necessary right now, I really need to save the money and get new tires and springs, b/c my car is sagging right now, but both mechanics said that the shocks seem still good for a bit.
Its good to know its only springs to lift our cars, for us normal guys haha. I mean i know its not the best for offroading, but I like the simplicity of changing out springs for the look. I can sleep safely tonite lol.
