Lift options

[navistar]

I want to lift her one of two ways.

Questions:

What, if any, difference is there between a 2-inch lift using the Independent4X spacers vs a higher lift (around 2.5 inches) with 912 coils, all other things on the front suspension being equal? Is there any difference in handling, stability, etc.

What about appearance? Does anyone have side view pics of these lifts with 16-inch wheels, that's what I'll have on her?

Its a 3 inch calmini lift ...but in reality about 2.75.
(I'm not suggesting you go calmini...it was in the parts box I got when I purchased her!)
16 inch rims...33x11.50 tires

You can see my lift in my gallery (last time I tried to post a pic in the thread, Zeus ragged me about the failure so I'm not trying it again).

From what the PO told me it's a 3" Calmini lift on the rear but just the torsion adjustment in the front. The tires are 33x12.50's on some unknown rim with offset from he11. He did some minor fender trimming too.

Im a fan of the 912....look in my gallery for pics of the lift. If you have any questions just pm me if you want.....

Here is mine the day I put in the lift.


And here it is after a few months. This is a good height comparison. Large lift(ASCINDER), no lift(NFPGASMASK), and typical lift(ME).

Do your OME 912 springs feel softer or increase body roll on the street? Also I'm going to use Rancho 9000XL's.

All of the OME Coils are stiffer than stock. They will decrease body roll a little bit.

Has anyone done a 3 inch lift with the Rancho 9000 xl 214's and 215's amd OME 912 springs? Do I need to use longer shocks like the ome's or the secret part number longer Ranchs the independent 4x is selling? Please help.
