    Sweet!

    What are your plans? Going to start with the stock springs?

    Yes I'm going to start with stock springs and set the shocks at 1 to 1.5" of lift and test for about two weeks with a off road test! Then move to the OME springs and set the shocks to no lift and test them that way. Then I'll do a write up and find out what I like more!

    with this set up, i was wondering if the hemi coils would be more compatible as with a set of MD or HD springs?

    After putting on the RR spacer lift I'm pretty sure I need new front struts. I was thinking of going the 5100 route.

    I need more front lift as it is so can I pair these with my RR spacers?

    Yup. At the lowest setting you should get ~.75 more lift.
