As the title suggests, how do OME lights compare to stock springs?

This is for a truck that will be kept basically stock for as long as I own it.

 

Hard to compare anything to stock anymore, all stock springs that are still on trucks and original have sagged and aged. Are you referring to height or lbf/in compression rating?

 

I guess the biggest thing is height.

The wife is gonna drive this quite a bit and wants to retain, in her words, "the luxury look"

Tires are 265/60R18s, about 30.5" (1.5" more diameter than stock), so looks-wise I can probably handle a minor lift without it looking too goofy.

How stiff of a ride is the unladen Light? I have OME HDs on my unladen D1 with 31x10.5R15s and she likes the ride of that (the 31s with 15 inch rims probably alleviates a little of the stiffness).

 

Light OME is pretty light, but it will probably lift you from your current height around 2", as you've probably sagged an inch at least, and the OME is around a 1.25" lift.

 

I just installed a set, they are about 2 inch tall than my stock worn out set.
my truck sits 3/4 higher that is with an SD rack and a Terrafirma bumper.
ride is quite similar than stock, no jarring bumps when hitting bumps. I got mine for $69 from AB in there close out section

 

Is it true that the rears are Medium Duty as there are no Light rear springs?

 

I only replaced the front the rear are bags

 

Ah ok.

ZG, di you know the deal for rears?

 

Yeah there's really only a medium duty rear, 290lb/in compression. That's generally the case though, rears always need a bit more strength.
