    Was considering replacing the factory, waiting forever recall, springs, wanted to keep at factory ride height as I live in Honolulu and they have reconstruction permits you must get if you change anything about the suspension from factory specs. Does anyone know if Old Man Emu Dakar springs would fit the bill? If yes, what is the part number and any recommendations on purchasing them, shipping usually is a killer for me over here.

    Thanks for the info.

    They will not. I believe they provide 2.75" of lift, or you can remove a leaf and get 2.25" lift. Either way they provide noticeable lift.

    Thanks for the input, any recommendations on keeping it stock, but want a quality replacement.

    There are manufactures that make replacement or custom springs, such as Deaver and others. I have no experience with them though, so hopefully someone that has gone that route can chime in.
