I got to thinkin the other day about my daystar lift and how the stock coils start to wear out after a while.

BUT is there anyone who makes coils with a higher rate that replace your stock ones without the lift like OME?

you can custom order a set from kings coils such as our
aussie friend did.

haha no point in getting the King Coils, they will cost you more than the OME coils will and shipping is crazy high on them

You could do a OME medium duty spring set and get around 1" of lift. That wouldn't be too much over the stock ride height.

It's something that I have been thinking of doing for some time now.

Wouldn't the OME light duty springs be the closest to stock height? I believe even they have a little bit higher spring rate than stock.

It took me a minute to remember where I saw this, but this is what I was referring to. I don't know if it's right, but it's posted in the FAQ section.

What is the difference between a 926 and a 927 OME coil?

Spring Rates:

925 Light Load: 350 lbs
926 Medium Load: 375 lbs
927 Heavy Load / CRD Medium: 400 lbs
790 CRD Heavy Load: 500 lbs

Just for comparison:
Stock/Rustys: 310 lbs

correct you are but yet OME basically considers the light duty as the same as stock replacement, and you mean you had to look that up it's not stored away in your brain somewhere? :lol: :lol: :lol: just kidding

What do you mean by whats the difference between a Medium and Heavy Duty

That was the question in the FAQ, and the list of spring rates was the answer to it. (not my words)
They are now stored once again, in my brain. For how long... who knows. :D

Nope, those are Jeepkj02's words. And they were matched by JSC7002.

So they should be accurate.


side note:

My FAQ cannot be wrong, it's been approved by Rev. Tommudd Image

now I know you cant mix HD with the daystar lift bc it would be too much, and sleeve84028 said that the MD would give me about an 1in. So would that work?

too much, I bet you would get a little more than 1" maybe 1.5" 1.75" but it would still be too much IMO

The dollars keep adding up, don't they?

Why not just pack your Daystar up, send it back for a refund, and get 2 front OME 927's, 2 rear OME 948's, 2 front Rancho 17505's, and 2 rear Rancho 17404's.
After you figure up all the cost involved to do a spacer lift properly , it's only a couple hundred dollars more to do a full coil lift and be done with it.

FYI - all OME springs are the same lengths - even CRU Stu's customs are the same length
1.5" longer than stock (properly I think it's 40mm)

any difference in final height is how much they compress from the weight
if you want it shorter - get light/med and put on an ARB :)
