    my rear springs are shot and just suck in general.. taxes are coming soon and ive been waiting to do this for a while. I currently have 5100's and DO 3 hoop. I am between the Wheelers HD Springs or the Deavers. Would I be ok with the 885 coils up front?

    Guess I should mention that I have a car to haul to the track and back and I do some frequent hauling of scrap and other such things from time to time. The most off-road running I do right now is the occasional dirt road and such. I would like to do some trail runs sometime though.

    so i dont have measurements right now, but i have 886x with 90000 up front and dakars in the back with n182.

    i did notice that after putting on my HC bumper with tire swing the back came down a bunch!

    Question to the OME gods... will the
    $74 D29XL Old Man Emu Dakar Extra Leaf Spring
    D29XL add a leaf help with bringing up the back to where it used to be or am i just going to have to live with a sagging rear.... i am pretty nose high right now and im hoping that will change when i get my front bumper and winch installed...

    i'll grab measurements today if i can

    according to ARB/OME specs the d29xl leaf should add approx 3/4" and increase the spring rate

    (Notes in bottom of last page)

    alternately , you can flip the upper overload

    You can usually get centre pins at a spring shop , I think I paid around $8

    U bolts are technically a one use item

    Flipping the upper overload has it engage and support the leafs earlier

    I would suggest adding the AAL first , then if that doesn't solve it , consider flipping the overload

    That is about average for rear heights if you reference my Dakar measurement thread

    I think the AAL alone will fix you up if you want more height
