Maybe a Nooby question but here it is.

I am looking into replacing my shocks. I was looking at this kit with springs (link below).
my question is; will I notice any height difference just going from old to new even though the new ones don't have any extra height over stock.

Shock & Spring Suspension Kit - Heavy Duty - Front & Rear - Nitrocharger Sport - Old Man Emu / ARB - Land Rover kits from Atlantic British

 

Im not sure Heavy Duty is what you are looking for unless you have winch bumper, rock sliders, roof rack, and stuff. As far as I have learned here the aftermarket kits usually have same height springs just stiffer spring rate and that lifts the truck usually about 2 inches.

SOmeone with knowledge will chime in shortly Im sure

 

I'm not sure what parts they are using, but I'm pretty sure the HD springs will give you 2" or more, especially if you don't have any extra weight over stock.

See this link:

Light weight springs are considered OE-spec rated or standard.
medium weight springs offer improved vehicle handling and performance with some improved load weight capability.
heavy duty springs are best for vehicles handling added weight or stress regularly (such as vehicles used regularly off-road or for trailering/towing.)

These should raise your truck a little, they are not the 2" lift or it would list 2' over shocks on the ad (i would think) and it does not.
Unless you adding weight I think they maybe to much.

 

Those are great shocks ,ut as already mentioned light or medium duty would be a better choice for all street and most light to medium off road driving.
If you have any more questions send me your number and I will try to explain the difference for you.
Don't forget to replace the steering stabilizer also.
Have you already rebuilt or replaced your front drive shaft, if not this needs to be done at the same time to prevent it from failing and taking the tranny with it.

 

If I'm not mistaken, that kit is a 2" lift over stock. Depending on how shot your current springs are, just getting back to stock height could raise you anywhere from 1/2" to 1 1/2", which means this kit would put you up 2 1/2" - 3 1/2" over your current height.

 

That kit's a crazy rip-off. You can get Fox, Bilstein, King or SAW for less. Poly has four Fox 2.0's for less than $600, and four Bilstein 7100s are only $530. Those OME's are throw-aways.

 

The shocks you have mentioned are over kill for what sounds to be his type of driving.
If the OME are throw aways, they are dam good ones.

 

Thanks guys
@ Mike: front prop was the first thing I replaced, I also just had the front diff replaced because it blew up going down the highway.

after looking a bit I agree the HD might be a bit much so there is a medium duty set from OME @ the same price.

any other suggestions on good brands? possible links?

 

Prices are usually a little better at lucky8llc.
