OME 926 vs 927

[Atrus]

Couldn't find a dedicated thread....

With the different spring rate, would the 927 ride rougher than the 926? I'd have to imagine there's some impact.

What's the difference in lift - understandbly, I am not asking how much I'd gain because there are a million factors and you never know until you install. I am asking, though, if I put 926's in my KJ and gained X", how much more would I gain by putting in the 927's.


I mentioned to my wife "Man, they are discontinuing the shocks I wanted to buy for the Jeep in a couple of months!" Her response - "Can you still order them now?" Haven't quite mentioned the springs yet though....lol. Have to figure out how to pull that one off.

The difference is about 25lbs of spring rate,it's going to be pretty difficult to tell the difference unless you got a ARB with a winch up front.

yeah, i'm on the fence about this one too...i don't want something that will beat the crap out of me...but i'd hate to get something too soft and have to do it over.

 

[Atrus]

Good point Troy...I guess I'm losing myself in the numbers...

I'd be going up 65 lbs over stock for 926 and another 25 lbs for the 927.

where's the cheapest place right at this moment to buy a pair of 927's? I think my 926's are sagging on me...

Tell her how much better the Jeep will ride with the 926( a little more wiggle room than the 927) With the stock springs,every time you go over a bump remind her how crappy the springs feel. Tell her how your fillings are falling out. (attn)

I have bought springs from several places over the last 5 years, all were within a couple of bucks of one another, at the time it came down on who could get them when I needed them

Almost all charge within a couple bucks of each other like Tom said. I have to bet shipping varies. I got hammered by shipping when I got mine. You may want to get shipping quotes.

yeah i call them when i order stuff. their website has half of nothing for liberties. but they can order straight from manufacturer. takes about 3 days to get from warehouse out in midwest (to florida).
