I've been considering the Old Man Emu Medium grade springs and a set of their shocks as I do more on road then off road and the off road driving I do in Texas is mostly in soggy rice fields during goose and duck season. The previous owner had added a 2 inch lift kit (small aluminium blocks below the springs). Should I keep these or not if I upgrade the springs?

If you are going off road much, I would get rid of the 2" spacers, go to a HD 779 front spring and a HD 762 rear spring, you'll love the difference.

Oh and which shocks would you guys recomend? Old Man Emu soft or hard?

The HD OME's for sure, they will give you are far better ride.

Thanks for the helps with this. I did replace the OE shocks with Bilsteins... Can I still use those in conjuction with the OME springs?

If you ever get ready for springs, get back to me and I will help you pick which of the 4 springs will work best for you.

I am ready to do the springs now... just looking to find the right ones. What do I need to do?

Thanks

RE: who runs bilstiens

so mike,,,,

for my 04 what i am looking at doing is mostly medium duty off roading. not crawling. but above average trails and what not.

also a firmer on road ride would be nice. i do not plan on adding a arb bumper or a winch anytime soon. so my thinking is toward the OME medium spring with their HD shocks,,,

sound good?

RE: who runs bilstiens

Are you going to be running a winch and bumper, if so 751 front coils and 762 rears, if not 779 front coils and 762 rears, you'll really like the difference.
