For those that use it, OME says 0 lift. Is that accurate?

going on a 200 with 3rd row, no drawers, no added fuel tank, hoping to add dissent dual swing out

hoping to get a lift but not a harsh ride. Any other spring recommendation?
 
I know they say that but 2721 usually ends up adding roughly an inch. I suspect they assume anyone doing this will be adding weight and they are factoring that in.

2720 will keep you closer to stock ride height at stock weight. That is what I’m running and with the third row removed I am just slightly lifted over stock in the rear. The advantage is the higher spring rate means it doesn’t squat as much when loaded.

Thanks. I’m looking for a lift without a harsher ride
 
I will be switching to 2721 and will have my 2720 up for sale. I didn't want much lift , and the 2720 are good with minimal load, aren't enough when loaded with a few hundred pounds of stuff in the back. I do like the ride of the 2720 though, which is the same as 2721. If the 2721 doesn't give enough lift I will add packers.
 
I have 2721s and got at least 1.5” lift empty. It might have been 2”. I ended up adding 30mm spacers to get back some rake. (I didn’t want to adjust preload on the front to drop it). I like the ride and how the variable rate handles weight in the back.
 
Which side does the A and B springs go?
 
I have 2721s as well. I also bought trim packers but ended up not installing them as the spring gave me enough lift. I think it rides really nice and you can adjust the BP51 to be more stiff or softer. My rig sits level now, but I did not adjust the pre-load on the front as I plan to install a front bumper and winch which finally arrived today. I'm guessing I will have some rake after installing the bumper, but that will be fine with me looks better having a little bit anyway.

What comp and rebound settings are you running? I have 2721 springs with BPs and feel like I can get them dialed in. I’m stuck weight. Thanks for any help you can give.

Pretty sure I have them on 3 comnpression and 7 rebound front and 5/7 rear. BTW i installed the front bumper and winch and now there is just a. bit of rack which I think is just right.

No one wants to hear this, and ill get some flak for it, but you should be running identical coils in the rear of any LHD 200.

The driveshaft torque load argument is not valid as it’s distributed through the transfer case anyway and not even near axle twisting levels back there.
It was implemented like that for RHD as designed in japan where driver and gas tank are on the same side. It causes a lean in every other market.

My advice, take it or dont just sharing my insight and opinion.
 
I got 2-2.5” of lift unloaded from my 2721s compared to clapped out factory springs. Ride is just about perfect, and they can handle anything from empty to 4 adults, 2 weeks worth of stuff and a 4 bike rack hanging off the back. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the quick feedback. Are you factory weight in the rear?

I'm sorry I just realized I wrote that last post incorrectly - I think it's actually 5/7 front 3/7 rear. At the time I responded to this thread back in '21 I was running the 2721 progressive springs with a 75L dometic fridge and slide mounted on a flat platform in the back with minimal gear. I took a couple of trips with a roof top tent and more gear in the back and bumped up the compression and rebound a couple of notches to compensate for the added weight. With the extra weight it felt sloshy so adjusting the shocks helped for the 8 hrs of freeway driving to get to our destination. Once on the trail I dropped them back down a bit.

I now have 2724 springs in the rear because I added a 24 gallon aux tank and a Slee rear bumper. I still have the same fridge and platform in the back. I didn't change the compression and rebound with the new springs. I'll have to check my actual settings when I get home tonight. I honestly miss the ride of the 2721 springs. Even with the weight of a full 24 gallon auxilary tank and the Slee rear bumper the 2724s are a bit bouncy. Still a nice ride, just not as smooth as the 2721s. Though I think they are designed to be used with a set of drawers, bumper and aux tank and I don't have drawers yet.
