RTH: Does rear end have to be dropped to install OME 865 Springs?

[crimsonaudio]

Did you crank your front tb's? I have had a pair of 865's for some time, installed oem shocks all the way around but have held off on the 865's because my ds tb is maxed out and need to reindex, really dread that. Or, if I have to reindex and remove should I just upgrade the tb's? Sorry for thread hijack!!

Yah, I cranked the TBs, but didn't have to reindex. It rides nicely, performing well on and off road now.

This is interesting. Starting to lose confidence in my go to dealer as they called saying that the aftermarket springs (OME 865's) are taller than stock and they'll have to drop the rear end to get them to fit so expect additional labor charge...

Does anyone have a link to the height comparison of our OEM coil vs OME 865 coil? I may need to bring this in when they try to charge me extra for dropping the rear end when they already dropped it when they removed the old shocks.

OEM (non-AHC) on left, OME 865 on right:

Thanks @jLB exactly what I was looking for. They're "only" charging me an extra hour to get the OME springs in because they had to drop the rear end.
