Ok, everyone that has posted on this topic has given me a different answer.  I need someone with there own PERSONAL EXPERIENCE to tell me which OME front and rear coils will give my 2 door Tracker 3in of lift..

Hi museboy,

Take another look at the replies - the answers are there, you just need to decide what you are after.
GV heavy duty fronts OME962 and 4 door heavy duty rears OME955 looks like the go  , that is what I would run.

Good luck and keep us all posted on the outcome 

Ya that is what I think I am going to do.  I really hope it turns out to be 2.5 to 3in of lift just with the coils cause I really DON'T wanna use coil spacers anymore.  That is what I'm upgrading from.

The 956 springs will give more than 3" unless you are really heavily loaded with bar, winch etc. so look at the 962. If you use the 955 in the rear you will need spacers to get 3".

ok so what should i use in the rear if i want 3 inches??

Maybe this chart will help out that I put together under the OME Springs:

I am personally trying to do the same thing on my 4 door Tracker. I ordered in 950's, 959's, and 962's to see what works the best in the front.
For the rear I ordered in  955's and 961's.
I also have our 1.5" spacers if I have to go with the lower springs and the spacers to get the 2.5"-3" lift.

I will let you know what I come up with.

The 968 will give more lift in the rear than the 961 or 955.

which ones are 968?

Museboy, just keep in mind that you might get plenty of lift, but you also want the ride to be good.  There's not much point at jacking it up that much if you can't stand to drive it. 

Rockmolester has gotten good lift out of his combination, and he loves the ride.  A small coil spacer on a quality spring is not really a bad idea in my opinion.  It's what i'm having to do to get away from the calmini coils.

The 968 is the OME XL-7 rear, 370mm free height and 210lb compared to the 961 at 340mm free height and 200lb and the 955 at 350mm free height and 200lb. They are all 16mm dia. wire and 8.5 coils.

The Front OME XL-7 956 is 330mm free height and 500lb and has 14mm dia. wire and 9.4 coils. The 959 is 310mm free height and 540lb and the 962 is 340mm free height and 540lb and they both have 13mm dia. wire and 8.5 coils.

1" = 25.4mm

Who is rockmolester and where can I find his build at?

He has details of it on Pirate and Zuwharrie.

Sorry, I thought you would already know who he is.  He tried several OME combinations for more lift.

I just came in for a minute for an update. I put in the rear 955's and 1.5" spacers without the stock rubber isolator and ended up with it sitting 3" higher in the rear.

I am going to put in the 962 in the front and see how it turns out without the spacer. I am also putting in the OME Front Struts and still trying to decide on doing the strut flip or use the 1.5" strut spacers I have.

This thread helped me out a lot on deciding what to do: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=444978

Came in for the night.
I got the Drivers side front all done with the 962's, stock rubber isolator, OME Struts and the strut flip.
It seems that it has at least 2.25" of extra lift but I wont know for sure until the other side is done as well.
I do know for sure that it has an extra 2.25" more droop than the other side.
