Shock Advise
#41
I've been emailing Erik with lucky 8 back and forth and my only issue with Great Basin rovers was their 3" ome was 2" springs then spacers and that's not my cup of tea. Lucky8 has the actual 3" ome springs and shocks and I think I'm going with the 3" ome springs with the fox shocks just because of the extra travel with the fox shock and I can play around with front end to get the vehicle level with the added weight of everything.

Respect your decision as it seems you have done tremendous research. Can you elaborate on the quality issue? I have had two sets with no sagging and whatever they finish the coils with is bullet proof. In ran a set for years and when I took them off to go with RTE 3" I wiped the old set down and they looked brand new, I mean not even worn on the ends, I was truly astonished.

Are the 3" OME springs just the heavy spring rate or are they a separate part number for a longer spring?
When I was researching OME's I could only find 3 part numbers for the front Springs and 4 for the rear. All of which were for an advertised 2" lift, varying in stiffness from light to heavy.

I'm betting gbr is selling the soft or medium spring rate with a 1" spacer. I think the case with the 3" OME springs is that they achieve a 3" lift with a factory curb weight but are meant to achieve a 2" lift when the vehicle is Laden with heavy bumpers, winch, roof rack, etc.
I think OME intended all of their Springs to achieve a 2" lift under the surcumstances of their intended use. I.e. their soft springs will gain you 2" with zero extra weight. Their mediums will achieve 2" with light bumpers or a loaded roof rack but will sit at about stock height if loaded with heavy bumpers, winch, etc.

Their concerns would not have been with their springs, by the way, as they are not made in house.
