I was wondering if you could possibly do a daystar 2.5" spacer upfront and OME rear springs? The reason why I ask is that I notice that my rear is starting to sag but the front still lookes perfectly fine. so could I just ditch the rear spacer and springs and just throw on OME rear coils and then replace the front when I get the money and then do a clevis lift upfront if the rear gets too high? Money is pretty tight around here right now so im trying to do something small.

sorry let me refraise that....

Would it be ok to mix stock front coils with rear OME HD coils? or would the ride be too uneven?

lots of CRD's ran that way until OME developed the 790 for the front.

works okay - but full OME is better.

Ride may seem uneven at first due to the coils front and rear sagging already,( and you are used to the ride that way) But you could go ahead at this time and replace the rears with Heavy Dutys and continue upon your trip.
I assume ( always hate to do that but :wink: ) you have longer rear shocks since its been lifted for a while?

Could run that way for a short time
but if you are buying the spacer for the rear wouldn't save that much, still have to buy longer rear shocks
OME 927 and Bilsteins work good
