Front : To match the rear, OME 930 coils w. whatever spring pads you might need to equalize. For me a 1/2" stock spring pad was perfect. Plus all your suspension springs F & R are new. Handles/rides great. Total lift after full settle = ~2.5". What shocks are you running? Need to get a set to finish my lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My shocks are OME (Old Man Emu) N35L in front (if you can still find them) and OME 60032 in back.

Nodrama43 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 My springs are the HC 9730 part number which is the 3” lift spring. Tom told me to expect 3.75 at install with a settling to 3 - 3.25” when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexanEliminator Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I just purchased a set of Hell creek 3” springs and 3.5” RE coils. I will be mounting a winch on the front receiver. Hopefully the extra weight will settle down that .5” of extra height in the front. I’m hoping for a factory rake once everything settles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to just start with a whole new set of leaf springs. I'm exactly in the same need of a new complete kit for a 3" lift (Or 4,5" depending on what I can get hold on ) to my Metric long bed Since I'm living in Sweden the option to find anything local is zero so I have to do an private import from your side of the ocean. But that is no problem as long as I choose the right kit. If the choise is between a 4,5" complete kit from rusty or a 3" kit with General springs 5 blade package, what is the + and - between the two? Price? Which 3" kit to choose to the GS package to get it complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a choice. We have a saying among my Jeeping compatriots: "Friends don't let friends buy from Rusty's." I was involved in the very beginnings of NAXJA when it evolved out of an older Cherokee forum that went defunct when the one guy who had started the forum solicited monetary contributions to "help pay expenses," then took the money and let the forum die. A bunch of us who really missed it anted up a bunch of bucks, and NAXJA was born. Rusty's was around then, starting up either shortly before or shortly after the birth of NAXJA, almost twenty years ago. Some of his stuff was junk, other of his stuff was outright dangerous. If your choice is a 3-inch lift from a quality manufacturer or a 4-inch lift from Rusty's -- take the 3-inch lift and give thanks to the deity of your choice that you didn't throw money at Rusty's.

SuperSwede Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ok, that was clear enough! And fore sure money is money so why go the wrong way when spending them! May I ask where to find a 3" quality kit then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Both Dzimm and I are very happy with our kits from Rusty's. From his easier post and mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexanEliminator Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Well I don’t know what kind of leaf springs I ended up getting but they lowered my truck! I guess that’s a risk you take buying used. I had to put an AAL in my new general spring packs just so I could drive around and not look stupid with the @$$ end sagging! Going to order NEW Rusty’s or hell creek 4.5” springs in the near future along with CAD brackets and RE 4.5” coils so I can get rid of the .75” spacer up front. I swear I’ve never lifted a truck this many times because I just can’t get it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
