Well I think I have decided on the set up for the lift that I like and I would like to have everybodies opinion on it. I decided to go with: Medium OME springs all the way around from rustys Rancho Struts RSX1705 for the front from All J's OME shocks from Rustys for the back (what is the name and the model for these? they are not long kind) would rancho strus work ok with OME springs? Please feel free to give me thoughts and opinions and all else that you think I should know before I go and get it. Thanks guys! Also big thanks to jason thompson for helping me figure some of this stuff out. |

Any reason not to one-stop shop? I would get OME shocks and struts All from All J's and if you Want the extended rear OME's, they only come from All J's. (N132L part number) |

Is there that big of a savings by mixing the shocks, struts and springs? Why mess with it, u get what u pay for go with the OME set up completely. Proven value and ride. Don't be somebodyelse's test vehicle. WoodysKJ's .02 worth |

the main reason is that Rusty's is cheeper as per their web site and they are stuburn and will take a loss befor they get called a bad name at least this is what I have found I also have never had a problem getting stuff from them ,though I live very close to them ,ups picks up from them then it goes to that hub from that hub to the local hub by me then to me not a bunch of stops between them and me I will say All J's has WAY better customer service |

Yes you get what you pay for thats why if you look I have the OME heavy duty springs and Rancho struts from AllJs and rear Rancho shocks from Summit Racing, best bang for the buck, By the way I did or am trying the rear springs from Rustys now (bought a used set to try) and I am sitting one inch shorter in the rear and ride is SOFT!!!!!!!!way too soft |

well yeah the rear is soft compaired to the front rustys springs are not that great when new and are still not as stiff as the OME med springs with the HD's you will need at least an ARB bumper and Med springs out back |

I already have had the OME Heavy Duty rears for 35000 miles but all the talk of Rustys I bought a cheap set just to see for myself and then pass them to a friend of mine who wants to be liftd. Just wanted people to know that I love the OMEs and the rest well are not what I like

I mixed and matched the lift in my sig and could not be happier. My front set-up with the OME HD coils, Rancho's and other stuff resulted in a very good ride. I also shopped around and bought from different places to save a few bucks. I think you'll be happy with an OME/Rancho combo. I'd go with the HD OME springs, but the Med's may be fine as well. |
