I have the OME 895's and they are a bit stiff. I want to switch to donahoe but Im concerned that I will get some sag when adding the Demelllo rear bumper. So I'm considering just switching out the rear shocks to donahoe at first and then see if I get any sag with the demello bumper before switching to the donahoe coils as well
Good plan. It is always best to just do one change at a time when your trying to get your suspension figured out.

Great thread Josh! rep points buddy This is just in time of what Larry (uphill) and I were discussing a couple of days ago. I'm running the DR's and have no sag when I added the AP rear bumper. Now once I add the Man--Free fuel tanks under the FJ down the road, I will be maxing out the DR springs, this is what Jason also says. I will have added a lot more weight by then too. A sleeping platform with air tools, recovery tools, spare parts, water, fuel, etc. I'll move up to some heavy's at that point.

Thanks for the Rep.
Glad I could help. I now I am having a hard time figuring out what I will do when $$ shows up and figured I am not the only one. I think I will end up going custom in the end like T. did.

I am switching to OME 896's from Donahoe's in the rear to support the MAF aux. fuel tank and Fab Fours rear bumper. The rear Hoes (springs) will go up for sale. They're good as new but as one would expect, I'm going to discount them. Let me know by PM if any of you have an interest and we'll figure out the price.
EDIT: That was quick - Hoe rear coils are now spoken for.
