Some people say that you can install these springs without having to install links or any other aftermarket parts. Is this true and without vibes? What shocks do people usually run with 3 inch springs?

Some people it works for them, others not without corrective measures...depends on the rover. Shocks...Ranchos, Bilsteins, ProComp, Ive seen stock with extensions for retained springs.

Thanx John .......Another question...I am currently running OME HD front and rear springs are spring spacers an option for increased ride height....what would be involved with adding 2 inch spacers to the set up im currently running?

I dont personally advise 2" spacers on a spring designed to carry a 2" lift, esp. OME's with the type of wind/wire size they use. I feel its ok to go 1" additional w/spacers. With 2" spacers on top of the lift you have you are into corrective measures almost for sure as you are in the 3 1/2"/4" realm. All just a personal opinion.

John,

Would you use your 2" aluminum spacers with your 2" springs? Can you make those spacers in 1" height?

By the way, I'll be swapping the old OME 751 and 763's for RTE 2" HD lift springs in the next week. Wonder if I'll see any more lift out of the set up.

More lift on the nose yes, a little on the rear as well. Spacers are made heightwise to order. Again 2" spacers will cost you in a little more body roll, even with my wire/wind.

John, I guess you get what you pay for .......so ill prob wait until I have enough money to do the three inch springs and your 3 inch trailing links....seeing that I am still a broke ass college student! You dont give student discounts do you?

John, I have a OME HD springs front and back.
I would like to purchase your 3" front spring and links plus 1" spacers for the rear. Do you see any problem with this set-up?
