2"coil spacers + 2"OME springs?
I currently have a 2"REBB running 33's. I'm looking at these used 2" OME springs and planning on replacing stock springs with these under the BB coil spacers. Now, the questions...
Will 2" BB shocks fit my plan or do I have to get new longer shocks? If so, which one? What other parts or mods I need to do, to make my plan work? Please give the must and what I can go without. Will a TC drop work temporarily until I get a SYE? Adjustable trackbar needed? What else ????? Thanks ! ![]()

you´ll have 4" of lift witrh that set-up.
i think you´ll have to drop the TC for about 1.5"-2" with that. with 4" lift you need 4" longer shocks. the shocks you have now are too short then. you also need longer sway bar end links and longer brake hoses with 4" of lift. a longer/adjustable track bar is recommended.

You may need adjustable rear upper control arms too. I am not sure about front uppers. You might want to consider a kit for a lift like this.

If it were me, I'd get the OME 2" springs, then get a set of 1" spacers instead of your RE 2". That will put you right at 3" of total lift which will clear the 33's, but avoid many of the problems you'll encounter by going to 4" of lift and you should be able to continue using you existing 2" shocks.

As for longer shocks, is there a way to tell if the shocks are going to be too short after you change something? Could you disconnect the sway bar and just jack up one side to see if the shock will extend all the way or is there another reason for the shock to be longer? Just wondering. Thanks

You could get a set of Bar Pin Eliminators. That will give you about 3/4 to 1 inch on your shocks.

If you're looking at buying 2" spirngs to add to your BB, then why not look for 4" springs, and sell your BB. Much better in my opinion.
You will still most likely need a boatload of other stuff though. Possibly some or all of: control arms trackbars/trackbar brackets shocks t-case drop / SYE CV DS extended brakelines longer swaybar links |
