I was just browsing and i see that OME offers springs. are they taller than stock?

all this time I thought they were coilovers...

@ the rocky road . com site, OME lift springs are offered in 2 different options: medium and HD.

what's the diff?

I currently have the cornfeds 3/2, ditching the donut spacers on the rear, I should be able to pop on the OME right ?

being xreas as well should not have an affect...

I ran air bags with stock springs but moved up to OME hd coils to help even more with haulin. Years later I did the front with OME as well.
Love em. Here is a pix under load. I would guess that between the bike and the hauler it's just over 300lb's hanging off the back.
Nice stance loaded and you forget the bike is back there, kind of south of the border empty and stiffer than stock. The ride is better with some weight in the back.

*I also have some cut down rear spacer in there with the rear spring (just to fine tune the stance).

** Last month I messed with the front some - removed the trim packer ring? I did not know it was designed to add to one side to balance if need so I origionaly put em both in. Duhhhh.
Now the front is a 1/4 lower. PERFECT.

^thanks for input

bump, mods please move.

Has anyone upgraded to OME springs with leaving xreas??

medium vs hd ??
 
Probably not advisable to do that, because the OMEs are so much stiffer then stock, that the X-REAS system wouldn't be able to dampen it very well. Gotta go with a HD shock like what OME sells to go with the springs. Don't get me wrong, I love X-REAS, but I don't think the two will work well together.
