Simon says................. :wink: :twisted:
If you read back through the posts from the last 5 years I think you will find the best is either
a full Frankenlift
or
OME springs and OME struts/shocks or use Rancho shocks/struts
Best ride, quality, etc. I have 70,000 on my set up and would go back to that same one in a heartbeat. I have taken it on long trips, off roaded it, pull trailers and not one problem.
Remember that ARB/OME develops a quality kit and it is an UPGRADE not just using springs with the same spring rate as stock ( which will settle a lot over time) like some places do.
I have the Heavy Dutys ( rated at 400 lbs ) and a ARB bumper but would still run them even without the bumper. You can though use the mediums ( rated at 375 lbs) as well for a great ride. The other company uses springs that do give lift but only rated at 310 lbs :shock:

if your wanting more flex you really need to get a full suspension lift not a spacer. there is one brand that is really good......now what is it..........oh ya OME :lol: , give that a try :wink: :lol:

Since you already have the Ranchos, just order a front set of Old Man Emu 927 coils and a rear set of 948 coils. Shop around for the best prices to save money.
