been a while since i posted.. Hearing that the 919 springs are better than the 911/912.. anyfeedback? .. also if installed w/ the simple torsion crank.. do I need to replace the rear shocks for extra travel... Rancho 9000s? or ???
thanks for any input..

Do a search for a post by Rickshaw. He did a real good comparison of the OME springs.
And you will not need new shocks. Your stock shocks will be fine until the end of there life!
Thats the one! I missed it when I searched.
wow! haggisgood, im impressed.... thats a steep hill, anywhere that you can see the whole bottom of a car... from front to back, means that its steep ;)
plus you were sliding quite a bit my friend
haggis...????

yes joe.. have been out of the woodwork for a while.. but now i am seriously interested.. lets do it..
Do i buy the 919 or 913?
What else do i need?
Haggis
should i go 919 now or ?
bro just got 31x10.5x15 on his wrangler.. KM2.. sweet tires.. mudders!
looking to put them on my original 18s..

My personal preference would be 919 or 912's. 919's are going to be a little harsher/harder riding and they are also slightly taller than the 912's.Quote:

As far as needing anything else not much really. You might have to cut a very small amount of cladding for 31"+ tires but it is no biggie.
I have 919s, not sure how much ride difference I have compared to 912s, but they are a much heavier spring...so makes sense they would be a bit stiffer.
Hey haggis
I'm gonna use 912's...and maybe a spacer..depending on how it feels/looks...
....and what tires I use.
I got these from Rickshaw after he did all the "spring" research!
IMO...go 919's if youre gonna haul heavy loads / or want a tad more lift without spacers...
...or 912's if you are getting 33's or less.
