Hi guys n gals,
im in the process of looking for some springs to go under my shack. I am unsure of whick brand to use. How to the king springs compare to the OME and the EFS?? i have a 84 sierra ute, and was also wondering if i could put the stock rear springs up front and put a set of 2" lifted springs in the rear?? would that work, or will it nose dive??

Thanks in advance

Go the OME springs, nice and soft. I have efs and you have to remove most of the leafs to get a decent ride and flex. I think you could go some lifted springs in the rear with stock shackles, then some stock rears up front with some extended shackles and i'm pretty sure it should be level, but i may be wrong.

get a spring that flexes well with a decent amount of leaves. every time you remove leaves chasing flex you will add to axle wrap, and that combined with most zooks have poor torque distribution will lead to many problems. OME gets my vote.
