OME lift spring options???

[KJrookie]

So after reading and researching, its pretty clear an OME lift is the way to go.
I see that most go with 926 or 927 in the front and 948 in the rear but...
Im planning on an ARB bumper next year, so is it worth going with OME-790's (rated at 500lbs/in) in the front now?
Would OME-925 (rated at 350 lbs/in)in the rear be overkill?

Also planning on Bilstien shocks all the way around. Do hose stay te same with either spring combo?

925s in the rear? Those are front springs can't be used in the rear
I would not go with 790s unless you already have the bumper ready to install, way to rough of a ride without the extra weight
PLUS like i have said before I ran my first set of 927s with an ARB up front for over 100,000 miles with no issues
Now if you have the winch/ARB etc already then either way will work ( 927s or 790s)

Where in Ohio are you ? Having a M&G end of the month at my place west of Toledo you could see and ride in several with different spring rates ( 927s/790s etc )

I'm just north of Akron. And I'm about a year off from the bumper.
Sounds like 927 I the way to go. Thanks guys!

Also wondering if a spacer plate is worth the extra 1/4 inch. Or is it more install time than it's worth? Ive never seen a pic of one installed.

1/4 inch top plate gives you 1/2 inch of lift
You install it while you're installing everything else, just sits on top of the top mount, very easy to install
Have two or three come over to the M&Gs all the time should come over

I have plates laying over here and can take a picture of how they install if you would like

If you need help we sort of know how to install a lift
