Which OME Springs (Medium or Heavy)?

2018 DCSB OR

I will be ordering and installing an OME Lift. I'm torn between what springs to go with when I order the complete kit.

Details:

Front: I will be installing a hybrid bumper with a Warn 8000 lb winch with synthetic line.

Rear: Normally, bed is empty. But.... when I travel it will be loaded with 250-300 lbs of gear AND I have a Turtleback Expedition Trailer which fully loaded weighs in around 2200 lbs. So I will need to be sprung in the rear to compensate for the tongue weight of the trailer.

Thanks!

 

Prob 888. Lots of info in the suspension thread.

 

I just ordered the ome

 

Front, do 888s. They'll provide roughly 2.5"-2.75" of lift on your stock truck and will lower a smidge with the bumper/winch combo. For the rear just to standard dakars. IIRC their load rating is 330 lbs over stock and will maintain a few inches of lift.

 

What's load rating for the HD Dakar? Thanks

 

HD is 660. and you can add an AAL on top of that to increase it even more. Here's a great review of everything.

I went with the heavy duty rear Dakar leafs and the 888 up front, all I have up front is a hidden winch mount/winch and sliders. Wish i just did the 886. Slight rake now with everything settled so I may add a 1/4” spacer on top of the struts now to level it. Rides great though! Very happy

 

Get the 886 they have a higher spring rate which you will benefit from after putting the bumper and winch

 

With tears spring

 

Im also curious of this on the hd ome??

 

Yes it is.

 

I believe I have landed quite a bit more than intended lift somehow on front and even rear with my new set up and the ride is a bit rough for what is on the truck.I currently do not have any weight in the rear but will have my rack/rtt on once rack is coated and hope to get a rear bumper/swing out but I still dont believe it should be as high as it is. My center hub to fender measurement is right at 25 inches on the rear so I'm considering removing a leaf.I'll have to do some research to see which one and how exactly it will affect everything.

 

I run 888s up front (nothing up front) and heavy duty leafs in the back. Love the setup!
