Hi guys and girls
I'm getting OME HD's in the rear and putting rear stock springs in front. I'm also putting on 235/85-16s "TRUXUS" by interco tires on my 98. I'm a little concerned about clearance for these tires because they are about 32" tall. So I pose the questions
...Does anyone know of spring spacers that i can insert above the coil to give me an extra inch or two?
...Do i need a caster kit when putting the rear springs in the front?

...will i have enough clearance for the tires in the front, with the stock rear springs installed.

just did this exact setup a few weeks ago on my 97, except with futura enforcer's, 235/85-16's.

look under the thread "extra 2 inches ", i think the last post was on the 23rd. you may find some of that info useful (or at the very least, reassuring)

as to your questions,

1. don't think you need the spacers, plus you may run into other issues past a certain height which will require you to spend a lot more money.

2. don't know. that is ... i don't have one and all is well, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

3. YES ... you will actually be .25" higher in the front on stock rears as compared to the OME's.

hope this helps
