I think so! Finally haha. I would agree though. It either worn weird or was mismatched. Knowing the small history on this cruiser...I think the later. Sounds like some OME original height or 2" lift would be good. just need to pick a weight. I suppose medium would be good?

IIRC, the OEM height OME coils are only available in one choice and I think they call it heavy? It designed to help the unlifted deal with the weight of a winch, etc. If you do revert to OEM height, you will want to check the steering caster in case it was corrected to suit the lift. Shock lengths might be longer on a a raised suspension but it's easy enough to puti some OEM Tokico shocks on them

If you stay with the lifted version, it should be matter of hooking it back together, assuming everything else was righ. Not sure you can do that with this truck

I’m totally cool with the lift, if it really does have a lift, with keeping it.

I guess I just need to know if it’s the 2” OME or stock height?

Haha, there is probably many things not right with this cruiser, but that’s the fun part right?
 
I think this is what I'm going to do. Any weight recommendations with replacements? It does have some funny aftermarket from bumper that I actually like, but it's minimal and probably not too heavy.

Based on the measurements, would the original height be better than a 2" lift, right?

I suggest you place a call to @sleeoffroad (Slee Off Road) or @cruiseroutfit (Cruiser Outfitters) to discuss your suspension needs and end result goals. Both are experts and will be able to provide you all the necessary components. There are plenty of other good vendors here, those are just the two I generally prefer.

I like that idea. I've bought some stuff through cruiser outfit I think and have heard great things about Slee. Thanks for the idea!

Got in touch with Slee and ended up purchasing some OME 2681 heavy stock height springs. Might try this weekend to install and I'll update with photos! Looking forward to getting rid of that lean!
