OK, so I'm the 2WD guy that has done the pre-runner thing with my pickup (sorry hate me but 4WD for me would never get used.. well maybe but..) anywho.. Got the second hand left over/taken off lift today.

Front,
Springs, Shocks (appear stock) already put together with top spacing bracket of ~2 -2.5". Can't tell if the spring is longer doesn't really look it.

BACK
OME 948 Springs ( look brand new but just could be the paint ) with 2" spacers. ( All the back stuff looks really new )

While this would be good to start really anyway....it'll get me up off the MT/Rs and if needed I'll buy the front OME springs and Ranchos. I've got the rear Ranchos on the way. Any way to tell if the fronts are stock springs or not. They look really compressed and it appears everything was painted black but I could see the Chrysler emblem and the Made in Brazil on the shocks.

Should I just drop the spacers and front assemblies on and check it out or put it all on? Any way to measure the entire assembly and know. Of course I cand do it after ripping it all down. Since I will have mine to compare but sorry thought I'd at least ask first.

The rear has OME 948 WITH 2in spacers? Correct me if i'm wrong but wouldnt that be about 4-4.5 in? :eek::eek::eek:
If you take the front coils off the struts the coils will measure about 14 in long. (stock coils)

got any pics????

Thanks for the feedback!

Here is a ( although crappy ) picture of what I have purchased.

And I as well wondered about the 948s AND the spacers???? but the 948 are only listed as 1.5" of lift ( looking at them I was like uhhhh no way ).

I suppose the fronts could be OME Springs as well. Everything appears to have been spray painted black. And I noticed the Rancho fronts most prefer are RSX 17505 which are listed a 0" lift (??) so I have some confusion do to the addition of a 2" longer spring on shock with no added lenght. Isn't the spring loosing some length due to compression with a standard length shock?

Tony, thanks for the honesty. That thought had crossed my mind. I guess I'll be able to tell when I take my stuff out.
