Default Lifting with springs and sitting level.

I can go with ome or rtyn.

I'm looking to get as close to true 3" lift without a raised nose as I don't have an aftermarket bumper.

So if I get the ome 763 And 766 do I need a rear spacer? How much?

If I go with rovertyn will the 2" springs give me 3"?

I'm so confused

I had ome 764 in the front and 763 rear its a little better than a 3" but it sits level. The ride is a little rough but not too bad. I didnt use any spacers to keep it level and I dont have any bumpers or any thing. Hope that helps

To get 3" on a D1 and still have a ride that won't jar the teeth out of your head when not hauling everything you own I would go with the RTE springs. The OME extra HD springs will give the lift you want but the ride quality will suck.

Which RTE?

Because I hear their 3" is really 5" without the extra weight and 2" is really 3" and other silly things.

The ride on extra duty OME springs is not nearly as bad as some people act.

Im not afraid of the EHD OME springs, but people say the front will ride over an inch higher than the back.

I put an inch spacer under 762's in the rear and I'm level with 751's in the front.
