Default 2.5 in teraflex bb and 2 in ome springs

okay so besides the driveshaft problems from the increased lift, and besides being a roundabout way of getting a good amount of lift, does anyone see any problems with combining some 2 in ome springs and 2.5 in teraflex bb. Also, what kind of extensions would i need? i have the bump stop extensions and the sway bar extensions from the teraflex lift. I have not commited to this but i really like the OME springs and i have been running the BB for a while so i thought i would throw this out there...maybe there are some smaller pucks you could run on top of the springs? Thanks for any help!

That'll put you at over 5inches of lift, lotta things to consider for it to drive and handle correctly. Front lowers( for castor), rear uppers(for the ds), longer brakelines , longer swaylinks(adjustable) Adj trackbars and or brackets, possibly draglink flip kit or drop pitman arm. Lotta stuff to consider , if you don't, it's not going to handle very well.

5 to 5.5 inches? i was thinking more like 4 to 4 and a half. maybe 3.75 with 1.75 in daystar spacers. i know your talking about how some of the 2 in springs net gain more like 2.5 but so far everywhere i looked everyones saying the springs give really close to 2

OME springs??? Look at WOL's rig on 35's with the OME's. The usually net over 3" You might be thinking about the RC springs.

not trying to fuss over nothing but ive found a couple threads saying the ome 2 in springs are too low for 35s. i fit 35s with a 2.5 in lift so would stand to reason that the springs give less than 2.5 in lift...anyway i was just spitballing to see what kind of creativeness some of the poor guys like me have out there!

Keep an eye on the for sale section, I've seen alot of peeps getting rid of 3in springs and kits in there for cheap. And various other parts aswell.

Also, there's a difference in just fitting 35's and wheelin the hell out of them. In addition to adding heavy bumpers, winch ,etc.
