okay spent last half an hour searching but got stuff all

i currently have OME shocks pretty sure they are model number N2 front and rear ( unless i am looking at the wrong thing on the shock)

and some springs OME as well i think not sure 2" lifted but really soft and sits about 1" lifted

the question will be for the people in the know will 3" lifted springs suit the shock or am i better off getting 2" springs again.

should be N2something, like N29 or something like that, different for front and rears, but wont suit 3 inch, unless you bought them pretty recently and they are the N2?L for long travel.

your better off sticking with the 2 inch springs with the 2 inch shockers
i curretly have a 3 inch springs in a shorty with 2" rangie shocks and 4"
cruiser shocks to make fit.if you do go 3 inches you wont get any more flex youl actually suffer because your shockers will TOP out all the time holding you spring under load damaging your shockers. the problem is finding shocks to do 3 " lift, you can mix and match and find what shocks will top out while keeping your spring just captive. like what i done,a bit of stuffing around and it still isnt right.

A friend of mine hade 3" springs and 4" shockers and under heavy articulation hes springs would fall out so you either stay with 2" and have everything running pretty smooth or start stuffing around.choice is yours.

Go with 2 inch springs again, not worth going the 3 inch if your shocks are still good.
