Is there a guide for the OME springs that says if you are this weight or have this equipment you will need these springs? I have a steel bumper and winch up front and a heavy body armor rear bumper with tire carrier with 35" spare. I also have a air tank and skid plate in the back that are pretty heavy. I also end up being the pack mule for tools when we go wheeling.

Try and figure out what your weight is going to be when you are done, if doing expedition you will want heavier coils or an air bag system that you can adjust when weighted down.

Old Man EMU
Installed an old man emu suspension on my land cruiser several years ago. Great results both on and off road. Drove like a sports car on the pavement and pulled many a fords and chevy's out of the mud and sand. You have to be a fan of the yellow components or powder coat them if not however.

Old Man Emu lift kits - interactive page for selecting components
If you go to oldmanemu.com.au, you will find an interactive page wherein you can input things like stock bumper, steel bumper, steel bumper with winch. The weights are listed in metric, so it may be a good idea to pull up a metric/standard weight converter as well.

Standard 2.5" OME lift. Medium spring rate, OME stabilizer and OME 2" bump stop extensions.
9000 lb winch, ARB bumper, skid plates on 295/75R16's. Plenty of room for tires. I've carried a 350lb motorcycle on the hitch receiver many times just fine.
