OME GV springs on 2dr Trackick..
« on: November 25, 2007, 08:27:30 AM »
Anyone experience with this??  I was thinkin the medium duty GV springs on my 2dr tracker.  I bet it would still ride decent.  I'm kinda wondering what amount of lift it would yield.  I'm looking to get at least 2.5in.  If this isn't a great idea then someone direct me to some readily available springs that will yield a minimum of 2.5in that i could look into.  Thanks!

I don't have first hand knowledge of this spring in your application but I would suggest that if Mike says it will work then it will work.

I cant remember the exact amount of lift but I want to say 3 inches. They rode awsome in my rig. Another guy in our club runs them in is rig too and it is a lightweight rig.

Make sure you post results to this thread if and when you get them so others can see how it works.

I'd be guessing 2.5-3.0" of lift...  Check the struts though once they're in, because you don't want to be riding around with them at full extension.  You'll booger them up pretty quick.

I saw in another thread somewhere that the GV rear springs are a different diameter. What you want are the heavy duty 4 door springs.

4 door heavy duty in the rear GV heavy duty in the front.

OME955's in the back (4-door heavy load rears), and OME962 (GV heavy fronts) or OME959 (4-door heavy fronts).  Without using coil spacers, the 962 will yield more lift, just don't know how much.

Switch around to ordering it by part numbers, instead of description, because you'll confuse the hell out of whoever it is you order from.

The OME 956 springs for the front of the XL-7 will yield a bit more lift than the 962 springs and they have a slightly softer rate at 500 instead of 540.

The 955 springs will need spacers added to give 3" of lift.

Try a rear XL7 lift spring, I use stock xl7 rear springs on my 2dr, not sure how much lift that produced from stock height but more than an inch, I have this combined with a heep spacer. but maybe the OME's will do the trick.  Just a thought..
