Greetings!
I'm in the process of upgrading my suspension and was curious if anyone had feedback on OME .5" lift springs. I was considering medium duty in the back and stock in the front. I don't want any rake. I don't go off road much other than camping, but fully loads she sags pretty good right now.
Perhaps I should just go medium duty front and back?
Thanks

Re: OME springs
The springs are great, as are the shocks and struts. If budget allows, also consider getting them.fatman023 wrote:Greetings!

BTW, there's only medium duty for the rears. The fronts come in light, medium, and heavy duty...they all have the same spring rates, just different lengths. If you go MD/MD, you'll pretty much keep the stance you have, but it'll rake a little. But if you're loading up for camping, you do want some rake since any load will make it look sagged if it sits level unloaded.
The AirLift bags are also a good no-sag option if you don't need to upgrade everything and are fine with current height/stance. The bags aren't meant for lifting, only load handling, so if you want lift, consider the OMEs instead.
Re: OME springs
I did the HD OME in front, and medium OME in back. It is not enough. I can still bottom the car out. I suggest the bigger springs from 4x4parts

Re: OME springs
Yeah, the springs (rear in particular) only allow for 40lbs more of load before they compress the same inch OE springs will. If you plan to load heavy (and maintain constant load), then I'd agree about wanting the AC springs. However, bottoming out is closely associated with shock dampening, not spring rates, noting that they do work as a system of course.
