Want aftermarket springs without the lift.

First question, does OME make springs for DII's that will keep the factory ride height? I want a stiffer spring for my DII since I tow a boat often. I have noticed that my factory springs are wearing out. The first 3 rings on the spring are smashed together. I don't want the lift because I park in a parking garage downtown and I barely have enough clearance as it is. If OME doesn't make them, does anyone else?

I think Rovers North and Motorcars LTD has stock height heavy duty springs. Maybe even Atlantic British. I don't think they are OME though.

Sounds to me like you are actually lower than stock ride height now...If you have 3 coils of each spring touching, then replacing them with the same (new) spring would actually give you some lift.
You could always have OME springs cut to the exact height you need.

My personal opinion is that with the OME lift it really is not that much of a lift. With my D1, I believe I got 1.5". So does that really matter to you? Just a thought.

I am probably a .05 - 1 inch lower then factory ride height already. So if you add that inch and then add an 1.5 to it, then I'm really pushing it. Plus add an extra 1 inch for new tires to fill up the wheel wells. I am already almost rubbing the gate when I go into the parking garage.
