I already have. They was still just a tad warm when I took them pictures, LOL...

What you think about going the Old Man Emu HD springs at 2" over and ditching the coil spacers as opposed to just buying another set of Up Country springs and retaining the coil spacers?

I'm thinking even if it harshens the ride a tad, I'm better off with ALL spring lift than spring and spacer. Plus with 125 lbs. of winch and mount hanging a foot in front of the bumper, the HD springs would be more desirable...

If you did that, Would need to modify brake lines or longer shocks?

Well in theory, I should be around the same height, since the OME springs are 2" longer than the stock springs and I have 2" coil spacers in there right now and I went to longer shocks when I did the coil spacers.

Now granted, I've never had the full 2" with the BBs because my isolators were shot the day I put the spacers in, BUT everything I already had is based off 2" of lift.

The only difference I should have after this install is I'll have the height I lost from the isolators being shot and the front coils sagging so bad and a firmer coil than stock.

I don't think I'll need any modifications, but if I do, after lifting five of my trucks myself over the years, I think I can handle a brake line extension or any other minor thing I may run into...
