OK guys, I have a 2.5" Daystar spacer lift installed, along with Ranchos RSX all around (17004 on the rear).

The configuration is awesome, but with two people on the rear seat, the suspension bottoms out once in a while. No big deal, but you can really feel it if you inadvertently go over an obstacle at a certain speed.

Do you think I can improve the ride going with larger rear spring coils ? Would OME or Skyjacker rear springs be OK, along with the 2.5" Daystar spacers, or would that be too much? Shall I change to a 1.5" rear spacer?

Thanks a bunch!

i would say change to a 1 1/2" rear spacer with an OME spring

might be a little too high with the 2 1/2

the skyjacker sprins are a beast. So it might solve the problem.

From my experience:
Skyjacker springs and make sure you still have the lower spring isolator pad and install an extra spring isolator pad on top when you put the skyjackers in.
