    OME 913 springs

    Am I understand correctly that OME 913 will give around 1" lift to the rear? My stock springs shrunk with the time, so I'm thinking to replace them with something (either OME or new stock springs) that will allow to fit TRXUS MT 265/75R16 or so in the future. I think this will give me enough clearance while not loose the driving comfort. I don't wish to end up with the spacers and don't wish extra lift, but I wish to let max suspension movement with that tires without tearing of fenders. Will 1" enough?
    Another question: Are OME 913 variable rate coils like the stock ones?
    2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS (build in progress): 4JX1/A340/part time, 2" body lift, front Aisin hubs, rear Aussie Locker, 4.56 gears, OEM rear sway bar disconnect, AirFlow snorkel, cabin air filter
    1980 Jeep Cherokee (assembling): 1.5" body lift, TBI, HEI
    1987 AMC Eagle: stock

    OME 912's give lift of about 2" or a little more & are single rate.
    They are about the same length as stock springs(with no load), just made of heavier ga. material.
    I know you don't want spacers, but that would seem the most economical solution. Also, cutting the rear bump stops in half vertically improves the ride a little.
    265/75x16" tires are approx. 31.6" in diameter compared to 29.5" for stock & should fit with a little trimming of the front cladding...if you're mounting them on stock rims.

    I'm going to replace springs anyway, so spacers are not the option. The options are: VX stock, OME 913, Trooper stock and OME 912. Cutting rear bump stops also will not improve clearance Just wondering what would be the best for my case (31.7" wheels in full diagonal crosses).
    I believe for the 265/75R16 the rims should be with ET20 (the formula I used is 38-(265-245)/2-((265*0.75-245*0.70)/2)*sin(pi/4)~=18, round to 20 )

    Sorry dude...ya lost me there...I was a complete failure at algebra & just use one of many tire calculators available.
    Also, I've not seen OME 913's before, so I'm "in the dark" there too.

    Anyway, the main question: will they fit freely with OME 913 or stock springs or not?
