Rovetym Cones - $120

EE Spring Retainers (full top and bottom)- $135

I have OME HD suspension on a D1

which one will give more articulation given my HD springs?

Also for $15 more w/retainers you get heavier duty bottom retainers. keep that in mind and let me know which one would would be best.

and Ho don't look for me to buy these just yet, LOL
when I buy, i'm getting the brake lines too, but I don't have the $$$ yet

What shocks are you running. IF you are running stock length then none will give more articulation. If you are running longer than stock I would say that the cones; pending on how long the shock will travel. Jack your ride up by the frame and see if your spring pops out of it's seat. If it does how much 1 to 3 inches I would go with EE if more than 3" go cones. Ho should be able to help you better on how much you can stretch those spring. if they don't pop out at all. Then I only charge $75 for this post and you can pocket the rest:)

Blake, the sway bars need to go, you may not even notice the difference with OME HD springs. I don't think you're going to unseat your springs with N115/N44 shocks. As MTB said, jack up your frame and see if the springs unseat, I don't think they will. Don't waste ya money on retainers with stock length shocks.

Blake,

If you have N44 rear shocks and 762 springs, you won't need the EE retainers. Get the cones.

just took the sway bars off the rear

what about the front should they go to?

so you don't think those shocks are long enuff to unseat even w/ the sway bars off.

i'm gonna go test them out on a trail about 5
