    See several reviews on both setups, seems most like either one they happen to have. Would their be any advantage of one over the other, besides the less expense with OR springs? I'm not against spending the extra if the OMEs are the way to go. Are the OME springs considerably different, being not progressive?

    Just would like to lift the front of my AC OR while leaving the rear alone, just Bilsteins in the back. 2+1 leaf springs, last year, lucky me...

    Am I over thinking this, with so little lift?

    Probably pretty similar ride qualities.

    I had my stock coils at .85 and had no complaints of how it rode. Would recommend.

    IMO it's not gaining much advantage to buy lift coils unless you're wanting to preload stock coils to 1.75 or higher.

    I guess one good thing about .85 w/ stock springs is it's at least a move in the right direction, with nothing lost if going up later. Can still add springs down the road.
