I have read about putting OME 860 or 863 coils on the rear of a 2nd gen. runner and was wondering how much lift they would give? also about how much are they? i did search and couldnt find much.
Thanks

 

My guess would be darn near 6" with a stock rear set-up. i am pretty sure that these are the magic 5.5" coils All-Pro is selling.

The 863's might give even more since they are rated for more weight, but the same lift for cruiser applications.

I get a solid 3" maybe 3.5" or so with a heavy rear and two stock tall side coils.

 

ya i am just trying to find some good coils for cheaper than allpro is selling theirs for. also did u get my PM from a few days ago about your stud conversion Flygtenstein?
Thanks for the help.

 

Yeah, I got it and I replied today, but it said your PM box was full and an e-mail was sent reflecting that state of affairs.

I still have it. I would prefer to sell it with the shocks. By the time I sold it to you and shipped it, it would be darn near the same as you getting one out right.

 

do you knwo wher i could purchase them?
Thanks
EDIT: P.S. i emptyed my PM box so could u please resend your PM?
Thanks

 

i'm looking at getting OME 891 coils for the back and they're priced at $129.95/pair. Now these only give you about 2.5" of lift, but you could always add spacers for not a whole lot of money. but if you're looking to mainly get the sag out of your 2nd. gen., like me, then these should be fine.

 

actually what i am looking to do is get about 5" in of rear lift, 1" to take the sag out and then the other 4" for lift. i am hoping these springs will do it without the addition of spacers.
Thanks

 

The PM that I sent contained all the info that I posted. I also asked about the swap progress. I think that you can get them at Rosser Jeep IIRC. A little bit of C channel would do the same thing.

I think those coils will jack your rear end if it is stock. On 4x4 Wire, there is a guy, Allen D from out East, who has a heavy rear bumper and has 3" more lift than I do with 860's.

 

I talked to Allen recently, he said his 860's give him 5.5" over stock, so if you have a 4" front kit you might be alright.
I have a 4" kit and the back fender sags about 1.5" below the front because of my 4" coils sagging... so I'm thinking of doing the same swap, I think an extra 1.5" above the front is better then sag.. you probably will need new control arms and new panhard mounts too, I have a panhard drop and I still think 5.5 might make the panhard angle too extreme soooo...... I guess we'll see what happens when I get some extra $$$

oh yeah, the Allpro 5.5" coils are OME 860's.

 

I have a 4 inch ifs lift I wanted to swap out my rear coils with 860's and put 1.5' spacers in front with 23.4 emu T bars my question is if I put spacers with the t bars would the front still be stiff and would I need to extend anything such as panyard,shocks etc oh I am trying to accomplish 5"-5.5" lift

P.S would the 860's be a stiff coils

 

Anyone
