quick question on Old Man Emmue spring are they know to settle?
The reason I ask is I just installed a set of there light duty springs and it appears to have raised the front even with a terrafirma bumper and SD rack. I now have about 20.5 inches from the center line of the wheel and the arch.

 

If you were on stock tired springs you'll see a bit of lift just by having fresh springs. They do settle a bit but not to much.

 

Every coil spring settles, generally not much as Bill said. Sounds like you gained .8" over stock which really isn't much.

 

I guess I'll have to lengthen the wife's legs by .8 inches then

 

No mater whos coils you use, light duty coils will drop.
I believe as much as I like the OME's, the light duty may drop even more then you may want, especially with the bumper and rack.
I run 751 fronts and 762 rears and I have only lost around 3/8 ths of an inch, but they are H.D.
Be curious to see how they look in 6 months or so, let us know.

 

I didn't want to go HD I was looking for something to replace my stock springs. The stock spring were junk and sat at about 18 inches. Surprisingly the SD rack doesn't weight a lot the bumper that a different story, but its still hundred of pound less than an ARB.
time will tell I guess.

 

OME HD +2" springs are the way to go

 

thanks but I'm looking to keep the stock ride, which is why I went with the light duty. if I want to bounce around I have other vehicles.

 

There is no such thing as a HD plus 2" OME lift, there are though 4 different spring set ups based on weight ratings only.

 

If you are loading it with any sort of weight....empty on HD = like riding in a F350, board on wheels. Still better than worn springs...

Although....it feels like I'm riding on a cloud with the boat in tow.
