Hi question ,I have a 2" BDS lift kit ,one year old, since a couple of weeks, well after I put Rancho RXS 17505 and Terraflex bumpstop my suspension start(JBA a-arm 4.5) to bang on the bumpstop. Is my BDS spring becoming to sag? should I do a clevis lift and put OME 790 spring? thanks Marc |

Sounds like the BDS springs have sagged enough to make it hit. What are you measuring from middle of the wheel to the bottom of the flare? Adding a clevis lift would give you back some height for a while but its not a long term fix for sagging coils The OME 790s would be to stiff unless you have an aftermarket bumper and winch |

Can't put my finger through the coil spring So I could put the OME 927 for gasser? Bumper and winch will come probably next year. when you said that the 790 are too stiff ,is it for the confort of the ride or it will increase dramaticly (dangerously) the angle of the CV joint. |

Wow!  That's low for a lift! Sounds like a Rusty's after 2 years. Yes, your springs will need to be replaced. It could sagging, or it could be bad installation, either way, the springs are bad now. A OME 790 spring is way to much spring unless you are carrying a full bumper and winch. Go with a normal set of Gasser MD or HD springs.

19 inches is sort of the baseline when stock Yes where he is now theres only about an inch taller than stock, and if you can't put your fingers in between the coils its past time for new springs. I know its more costly but I would replace the shocks as well since its been banging pretty good. If you know where you got the Rancho's take them back, Lifetime warranty
