OME 890 rears to LC 7wraps?

I currently have the Toytec 881 front / 890 rear coils with the OME Sport shocks. The ride is too stiff for my needs. Rides great when the car is loaded up, but this only 1 day a week.

Looking to switch to some LC 7 wrap coils I think. Questions are:

Will this have the rear sitting higher than the front, if so how much? I have a slight rake now, and it does not bother me.

Can I still use the OME Sport Shocks in the rear or should I swap those out too?

Finally, I am doing this to improve ride comfort. Am I on the right path?? Thanks!

If you haven't picked up the 7 wraps yet, I'd be more than happy to trade you plus 60 bucks cash. We can meet up and do the swap the same day. I love how smooth the 7 wraps are and they flex amazingly, but I don't run a rear sway and want a little more spring stiffness to compensate. Let me know if you're interested.
 
Just a side note -

What shocks are you running with your 890's?

I have the same setup and the ride sucked at first. After doing some research I found that OME offers a different shock thats not normally listed? and they swapped me out for free. They even paid for shipping.

The ride is still stiff, but its a lot better now.

If anyone is interested let me know and I will try and find the shock info.
 
^ this. You can't really have your cake and eat it to unfortunately. You can have smoothness, but it's not going to handle weight well. Or you can handle weight, but it will be stiff when it's unloaded. I looooooove my 891s probably more than anyone on here (there are lots of haters it seems) but that's because I'm one of the few that actually carries 500-600 lbs between my bumper, spare, gear, tools, sliders, skids, etc.. I had to put 20mm worth of spacers in the back to get my lift back to where it was, but mine rides much smoother now than before adding the weight. I feel I have the best of both worlds because my junk flexes like butter now, but I can also throw an additional 200 lbs. of camping gear back there and it doesn't sag (or at least not enough to notice).

Another option you could try is 890s. They will still handle weight a little better than LCs, but they're not as stiff as 891s. Kind of a good compromise. They tend to sit ~.25-.5" lower than the 891s though so I would definitely recommend adding an additional 10mm OME spacer on top of each one (the spacers are $10 ea. from toytec) to match the height you're at now. If they still sag too much with the trailer hooked up, you can stack two 10mm spacers to get 20mm (which is what I did).

Amen, hahaha

I love how stiff 891's are. Boaty rides are for old people.

I am running the OME sport shocks. I saw they have comfort ones too, but heard there is not much difference between them. Were you able to find out the info?
