Can you give any details on why it's worth it? Also, how difficult is the project? Lastly, what is the difference between front OME springs & shocks versus OME struts? I honestly don't wheel my Jeep but I like to know that I can if I ever wanted.
Honestly if you currently like the ride, don't plan on offroading a lot and don't plan on adding a lot of weight from skids/bumpers/etc... then putting the OME HD springs really isn't worth it.
But if you notice the front end sagging, want to firm up the ride, plan on adding weight and traversing rough terrain; then they OME springs are definitely worth it while you're tearing down the front end to change the struts.
Disassembling the strut is not "difficult", but it is very dangerous. If you've never done one before, I highly recommend having a friend walk you through it (especially if you're putting the OME HD springs in because the preload is outrageous). A lot of guys end up just bringing their struts to a shop and having them rebuilt there; a shop will have a quality spring compressor that makes the job easy as cake.
Really dangerous make sure you get could coil spring compressors, and make sure they are on there good like Matt said especially the OME springs. I was surprised at the preload they had.Originally Posted by Matt

Well, my lift is here so almost time to instal it!! Does anyone happen to have a list handy of the torque specs for the install? 06 Commander... Thanks!
If no one gets to it beforehand shoot me a PM if I haven't responded by 10:30ish.... working on a final exam after work today and usually call it quits around 10.
What lift did you go with???

Thanks for the info. You guys just supported exactly what i thought. I will probably just go with the new OME struts for now.
