Like what versions are available?
How much lift is actually netted?
And where the heck are they?

Been a while since the PR stating they were making them. Just wondering if anyone here knows any more or actually is using it?

Ok, let me answer part of my own question... I had to refresh RRO's site for some reason (have to look into that) but it's there!

Anyone running it?

yeah, that's right.  I was just wondering what RRO did for the track bar.  I don't see any pics on their site.

Glenn (RRO) sent the trackbar and it was just beat up hard this past weekend in Uwharrie . . .  ;D

It works great. The problem I had with Clamstinky bracket setup was that it would slip when stuffing the suspension so then til you loosened the bolt your rear track was about an inch out of line. This is definitely the fix.

His will have the bushings with it. Mine was a prototype that I put some Energy suspension ones in. Those things are sweet. I need to see if some of their other bushings will fit our trucks.

ANyway, the springs, I will be doing the write up on the OME springs within the next week. I had to take the winter off. Back surgery . . . .  :'(

I am back on the case now though. Finally got some meds that work. I can tell ya initially the Calmini springs are super. For about a month . . . then they sag all to #&^#&&. The OMEs with the spacers actually gave me 3/4" more in the front than the brand new Calmini springs. However I will tell you that there is a better choice out there for spacers. Especially for the front. Which what I just replaced. I put the Sky Manufacturing 1.5" spacer in the front. Reason: the RRO spacer tends to pancake in the front due to the shape of the front spring cup and the fact that the spacer has large portion removed in center top so it can work for more applications. The Sidekick spacer Sky sells does not have as much removed in the center. It is a little tighter going on the front bump stop but some grease and a rubber mallet put it right into place with no distortion.

I do have to say these OME springs, along with struts and shocks, make the truck ride very smooth. But at the same time it feels a lot more stable in the corners as well.

I would highly recommend them if you are going to do anything to your truck. If you just went with the springs OME says 1.25" that would let you fit 235/70 or a 245/70 easily. If you add the spacers on top of that and a little minor wheel well reshaping you could run a 245/75 like Blacknight has on. Maybe some scrubbing though turning and flexing. With the 2" RRO body lift and some trimming on the front bumper you can get a 265/75 in there with no scrubbing except really flexing it out . . .

Hope this helps. :)

Walla 32" tire lift... Sweet. I'd like to read the write up when it's done so please be sure to post it back on here.

I'm running 225/70-16's stock, looks better but not worthy yet. Might do the OME lift with Sky spacers (will his rears work in the rear of the XL?) and wear out these tires, then add the 2" BL and throw on some 32's. That gives me enough time to build a new front bumper as well.

The Sky spacers will work fine in the rear. The bump stop tube in the rear is a smaller diameter than the front.
