Can you beef up the suspension without a lift?

[jditom]

On my 80 I changed shocks and springs for a nice stiffer ride without lifting it.
Is this possible on the 100?
All I see is med and heavy OME springs with 1.5-2 inch lift.
Any heavy springs that don't lift?
Thanks

I am looking to do the same with my 2000LC. So I am interested to hear. I need to call Slee, They aren't far away. Eventually I will install OME.

Change the torsion bars and don't re-index them or crank them up for lift and you can have some custom springs made for the rear.

Put Bilsteins on it.

Doesn't OME make a stock height Heavy Duty spring for the 80 series? I think I remember them in the Man A Fre catalog when I used to read it every day before the internet.

I am thinking about the same thing, I would like to take these rediculous looking 864's (or 865's I cant ever remember) out and lever the Cruiser back out. The extreme stinkbug rake is driving me crazy.

I want stock or 1" springs with the same load ratings as these OME springs.
