Hi All,

I hope this finds you all well & safe.

I am finally to the point where the stars aligned and I have the time, some money & my suspension is shot.

I know I would like to have a set of OME 2927 Springs for the front + Shocks either OME 90009? or Bilstein 24-139168 4600 Series?

I know I would like to have a set of OME 2948 Springs for the rear + Shocks either OME N132? or Bilstein 33-185552 5100 Series?

The problem is, ARB, JBA and other venders I've checked online do not list the parts I want specifically for an '11 KK.

There is a CRD site that lists I believe the OME 2948 rear & 2927 front springs but I don't know enough about suspension springs to know if they would be the same or have an even firmer spring rating because it is for a Diesel rig.

I've put question marks by the shocks because I believe that is what I need but again, not positive.

I am not necessarily wanting to lift the truck but from what I have read, the OME springs might give a 2.5" lift anyway. I'm OK with that.

If anyone could point me in the direction of who to ask or just flat out tell me which vender I could buy the parts from this week, I would really appreciate it.

90% street daily driver, 10% mild to moderate off road, occasionally towing a 3,000 trailer, ATH rear bumper w/ swing out spare carrier, 245/70 16 tires. Will be putting a steel bumper with a 9,000lb +/-winch up front and probably an aux 25ga fuel tank in the space where the spare was.

thank you all in advance for any help with this.

Joe

WWDiesel, I saw their site but again, I don't have experience with suspension parts.

Any idea if a spring is a spring regardless of if it is listed for a gas or Diesel? I wouldn't think so but I've been wrong before...J

There were no diesel KK's to my knowledge in the US.
Gas and diesel applications use the same size springs, just different load ratings.
You could always call them and ask.

WW, I hadn't thought of the no KK Diesel.
You are right, I'll just call on Monday.

Thank you,

J

You can buy the OME springs from Ebay and for the bilstein shocks just use google and you will find a few vendors
I have the same setup but with different rear springs (mine is a 3.7 gas KK)

Buy the springs from IronMan and order Bilstein Shocks & Struts from:
Shock Warehouse.

They are a good place to source name brand shocks & struts at reasonable prices.
