Also what coils can anyone suggest to get my 2 to 3 inch lift back and get my front axle off my stops and stop my rear tires from slapping on my flares when flexin?

Thanks for the input

Check out Rustys, they have 2" and 3.25" lift coils that they sell seperately of a lift kit and its about $100 for a pair. I have them and they're awesome, they havn't started sagging yet and I've had them over a year

Thanks everyone... all great info and has helped.

Does anyone know the spring rates (load ratings) for the 2" OME HD's and the Teraflex 2.5" coils?

Are these coils progressive or constant rate?

Someone mentioned BDS 3" coils here at home....... anyone with experience with these? (noticed no one mentioned them so that must mean something lol)

Gettin closer to making a selection ;-) biggest thing for me is supporting the weight and NOT sagging.

Thanks again

On a 4 door the OME HD have the following load ratings (constant not progressive):

Front (OME 619): listed as 90-180lb
Rear (OME 618): 300lb (Should be plenty for a heavy bumper and 35 spare)
Rear (OME 620): 660lb (I went with these rears due to heavy tow load but should probably have gone with the 618s)

No sag from front or rear and I am running a Mopar off road rear bumper, Orfab tire carrier and 35" spare and tow a 3500lb camper with almost no sag at all even when towing. In the front I have a RR stubby with a Superwinch 9.0 and also have no sag at all. Got about 3 1/2" out of the lift including the 1/4" OME coil retainers on top.
