Hi, I have emailed John at Rovertym with this question as well but havn't gotten a response yet and am real anxious for some answers so I am going to throw it out to you guys as well.

I am about to lift my truck and what I want to achieve is a full two inches in the front and two and a half to three in the rear (no spacers involved either). I will be mounting an ARB and a 9,000 lb Warn at the same time as well. Since I will be hauling some heavy loads and towing as well my first instincts tell me I am probablly going to need the RR1 and RR4 springs (rovertym) in the 3 inch variety. What I am not sure of is if the ARB and winch will be enough to sag the front springs an inch and I don't want anymore than two inches as I have heard bad things about drive line vibes. Does anyone have any opinions or other suggestions to give me. Thanks alot. Oh yeah, I will be using OME shocks as well.

Thanks for any help you can give me,
Carter

The RoverTym 2" springs are designed to do what you want in the front and rear (2" of lift, fully loaded). But I'd wait for John's answer as an official confirmation.

I believe John sells a whole kit for the 3" setup to castor correct the front and to re-align the rears. The 2" setup does not require all of extra parts.

If the 2" springs in the rear settle more than what you want, you can go and get the OME packers or some spring spaces to add back the height you want.

Thanks,
Mike B.

I certainly am glad I saw your post. I have checked and any mail addressed to [email protected] I havent been receiving. The only mail I have been receiving is mail addressed to [email protected]. My apoligies to any and all for mail that may have been unanswered due to this problem. This problem is proberly several months old. Again my apologies for any unanswered mail.

Thanks, John

Greg, there are probably more reasons than that.

LOL.

To vouch for John, we had quite a nice email conversation regarding my 3/4" a-arm extension I ordered. Mail was flying fast and furious to/from the aol account.

I just ordered 4 two inch lift springs (RR1 and RR4) from john and a full set of OME shocks from EE. Great service with both transactions, I agree with Tom too John is very good about responding to email (Once it gets to him anyway). Im about to go out of town so I won't be able to install everything for another two weeks but I will let everyone know how it goes.
