Yes, you are just not jacking up the rear as high as the 895 and you don't have to therefore crank up the adjustable CO's much to level the truck. Somewhere I posted that you might be able to stay within front end alignment specs by using the 895E in the rear which corresponds to less lift in the front which is a good thing - many owners need aftermarket upper control arms to get an alignment.

nice thread. does anyone know of a coil that is stock height w/ a higher spring rate, i don't have the money to spend buying a full lift, but i need more support in the rear. my stock springs are leaning to the left almost 3/4" lower than the right with almost empty tank of fuel.

The only thing I can recommend is to keep an eye out on the classifieds section for a set of used rear springs. People will up grade to stiffer OME some times and sell there old set of soft or med OME's. then just get a spacer lift in the front till you can spend the money on a good lift. Or call CSS and have some custom rear springs made to your specs. Good luck.

i already have OME 883's in the front, so i am not sure what spacer i could use. i actually have a daystar 1.25 top spacer in my garage, do think that would be OK, with the 883's and then OME mediums or so in the back?

NO!!!! Do not put the spacer on with the OME 883's! That would over extend your cv's, steering and the rest of the suspension causing it all to wear out and or break.
So you are running OME 883's front and stock rear? If so you shouldn't have to worry if you put some OME 895's in the rear, it should match with the front nicely. If thats more lift then you want try the Downey springs there a little shorter and softer but have a longer free length. Just not to sure on how they stand up over time since I haven't read much about them.

i do have stock rear springs, i was thinking the 895's would give the rear too much lift and i would have a raked fj again. i haven't heard about downey springs. does anyone else have a similar set up with OME 883 and something besides stock springs in the rear?

im running the downey rear coils, rear donahoe shocks, with donahoe c/o's up front. the downey coils don't lift the rear quite as much and have a great ride. the spring rate from downey works well for light to medium loads. i like em

i have the ome 895 in the rear and i am thinking of switching them out to the icons springs to go wiht the new icon shocks. I;m wondering if the actually lift height is the same with these?

Yes, They are both the same amount of lift.
But, when loaded down you will notice sag way earlier than with the 895's.
Then again, these will match up beautifully with your new shocks.
