OME 906 rear/Stock '01 Front - will I need a spacer?

I am about to buy OME 906s for the rear along with KYB gas-a-justs all around. I was considering buying 99 tall Moogs for the front since I like that look, but I hear reviews they are pretty stiff. I like the 880s too but I'm trying to save a little money since deciding to get 906s in the rear instead of Moog talls. I am mostly on road but I load the back up for camping and fishing a lot. So I am now thinking of sticking with my stock '01 springs. I don't mind a little rake, but I definitely don't want a negative rake. Do you think I'll need a spacer up front to keep it relatively level? Also - with the 906's do I need to extend any brake likes in back?

Thanks!

I've got an '01 as well, added 906's in the rear and 880s in the front. Love the stance and ride height. I would hesitate to keep the stock springs up front and put 906's in the rear. You'll have a pretty aggressive rake. Sure you could add a spacer, but if you're pulling the front struts, I'd chuck up the cash now and upgrade the springs (or save until you can do both at once).

Yeah I just may do that - it's just getting expensive! I need a steering rack as well - so I figured while I'm in there and getting an alignment...How is the ride quality with those springs and whatever shocks (5100s?) you're running?

I feel you, just put in a new OEM steering rack recently...not cheap! I've actually got 4600's all around, and I like them well enough. Handling is good, honestly that was one of the things I noticed first after replacing everything. I live in a city so it's still a bit rough over potholes etc. BUT when I head out camping, the suspension comes alive on fire roads. You can tell what it was designed for when you cruise down a fire road at 30 mph without rattling your teeth out.

The 906's do great for me, a little weight in the back goes a long way to softening them up, and I appreciate that they don't sag much when loaded with gear.

Oh, meant to say, based on my experience you won't need to extend brake lines with 906's. When you install you will be able to tell if it's stretched too much at droop, but I think you really only get in that territory when you are going 3" lift or more.

That does make me excited to upgrade my stock suspension - I love cruising those fire roads looking for a campsite, but lately it feels like my truck is gonna shake itself apart. Thanks - I appreciate the input.
