I don't recall, however if you are going with the OME 927 front coils defnately go with the OME rears.

I have the OME 927's up front, with the JBA's in the rear, I keep about 150lbs of gear in the back, and that alone compresses the rear coils to be a little below level with the front, as soon as you add rear seat passengers the rear is about 1" lower than the front. I had to add 2 extra rear iso's so that I ride with the rear about 1" higher than the front, and level when I am loaded up.

if i could get 948's i'd do that, and i don't really feel like waiting till the 26th for 948's since the 26th is a Maybe they'll ship them

plus the supplier screwed us a few weeks ago and kind of pissed me off so i really don't care to give them anymore money than I already have for the 927's

i've already got 4 iso's ready to go on it with whatever coil i go with

if the front ends up riding higher than the rear, i'll put something on the front to weigh it down ;)

reason i asked, is from what i read a few months ago, there's not enough difference between the jba 2.5's and the 948's for the static weight that i have back there to not squat it anyway

the last info tidbits i read on the two coils said they were both at or around low 200

ITBJRC, the JBA 2.5 is just a Skyjacker lift with his arms

True, but the JBA-LIB25R coils from JBA are in fact Skyjacker coils.
