Hello all, long time no post but here goes. Ive had my 2.5 Rustys full coil for almost a year now with 6 months or so of that having an ARB strapped to the front also. Im starting to notice it rubbing more lately I think. Either that or its starting to get on my nerves more and more now. My question is what options do I have to get the front back up again. I think I could go with the OME 927 heavy duty springs and that would correct my problem right?

Thanks in advance
Josh

If you have the ARB bumper only, yes the H.D. OME 400 lb. spring rate will work by adding a 3/8-1/2" clevis lift.

If you have the bumper and winch, I would suggest going to the OME CRD 500 lb. rate coils and add clevis lift.

i had the same issue with my rustys lift.
put the arb on there, and started noticing rubbing in various spots, also could tell the front was down a bit.

changed out to ome hd's and was the best improvement ive made.

Very nice guys, thanks. Where is the best place to buy these springs? They are $155 +tax at All J's which doesnt seem too bad. Didnt know if there was a cheaper place though.

Thanks
Josh

By the way, anyone know of anyone looking for a nice KJ in the Northeast? Im selling mine very soon due to gas prices and needing more of a family car unfortunately.
