So is there a problem with putting regular (light duty) OME 760's up front, and Medium duties in the back. Will my vehicle ride level? Don't have a winch or heavy duty bumper, and will do many many other things before I get an ARB or winch.

Should not be a real problem, but IMHO there is no need for the light dutys and questionably the MDs. I would recommend the HDs. Great stuff on the expedition exhange website that will give you the complete rundown.

What if I can get a pair of light duties for 1/4 of the price?

IMHO they are not worth it for 1/4 the price. Why go with OME light duty, I have not had personal experience with the OME LD, but would suspect that they would not be that big of a change over stock, according to EE spec says .8" vs 1.2" on MD and 1.4" HD and the MDs are variable so they should give a good ride. If the LD are used they will not give you the full .8" which is merrely a slight lift anyway.

Plus if you ever weigh down the front end with anything else you will need to upgrade anyway. IF you are doing this yourself, why do it twice?

Just my opinion.

Ya, I think I have decided to forgo the discount... the lift difference would make the car look wierd. .8 lift in front, 1.6 in back. And I would like the ride to be even, not softer up front than in back. I would think that might feel wierd on corners.

Me too. I wasn't going to post until you said you were passing on the deal.

Besides, if you work on your truck as much as I do you don't want the beer that fits so nicely in the hole next to the headlight pushing your front end down while you are under there bending back your track rod.
