Just installed OME 906 with Rancho 5000. Need front advise now

I’m a moderate off-roader with no desire for a lift. Just installed OME 906 springs with Rancho 5000 series shocks. I installed the shocks months ago thinking that was the problem...but obviously it was the springs. Bought 906 because I tow a little and keep 300 pounds of tools in the back all the time. They feel great!

Anyway, looking for suggestions for the front now.

With the new rear springs I’ve got a 1 3/4” rake...with the 300 pounds in the back already.

Thinking Rancho 5000 series up front to match the rear? What springs to get?

Any suggestions welcome.

Which OME’s for front are designed to match the 906 in back?

I've been down your exact road before. The 99 talls compliment the 906's perfectly. The 906's WILL sag, and from what I've seen the front OME that matches the 906s initially will eventually give you rearward rake after about 6-9 months, especially loaded way down.

Just got off the phone with the guy at ARB and he says the 880 is the one to go with. I asked about eventual sag on the 906 and he said he hasn't seen it...said several guys at ARB have been running 880/906 combos for years with no sag.

I'm interested in your sagging 906 experience though. Mind telling me more?
