Main thing is to not confuse newbies who stumble on this site and want a lift, suddenly they see OME, ARB etc and think there are many brands
It has happened in the past

So I looked at my order form and they are OME struts up front but I'm not sure if they are 926 or 927 springs. The struts (lift in genersl) maybe has a total of 15,000 miles on them and that's on the highend over the past few years.

So I'm working on getting approval but I need some clarification.

I should get the 2927 ome springs along with the 90009 strut/shock if I were to buy the whole assembly correct?

I should not remove my current spring and replace it even though the strut only has about 15 to 20 thousand miles correct. I'm just trying to cover my expenses before I make the purchase.

correct "strut" shock/strut potato patato i know i called it the wrong part name. Its like how many people say "clevis" so it rhymes with beavis? or cla veece like its french, or klev-is - tom please clear that one up once and for all who's right on that...
Not recommending OP to use 100k OEM worn shocks but wanted to know what shocks he was currently using and then, maybe if they were of a quality aftermarket brand, pair that with a decent set of springs,, given again there isnt a crap ton of miles on them.
I got box here from ARB that my Old Man Emu springs just arrived in, again, googling either brings you to the same point - it was just what was on the tip of my brain at the moment. Again, Tom you are correct , as inside the ARB box is the Old Man Emu branded box containing the springs...

I mentioned here before that in 2017 I installed OME shocks paired with 927s using 1/4" clevis spacer and 1/4" top plate spacer and currently 2019 shes sitting with a rake.
My 2003 i installed everything the same in 2018 but used bilstein and that one is sitting higher in the front and needed an extra isolator for the rear spring to level it out.

Currently Im in a similar spot as OP with the front sagging but unsure of what brand his components are.
I got another set of 927's here but its a bad idea to re use my OME shocks from 2017? if thats the case Tom I also have an extra set of brand new Bilsteins sitting here as well.....
Would you be willing to sell your 927s? Possibly the shocks also?
