I run the Dormans off Amazon. They gave me about 1.5 inches after settling and have been going good for me. I think Dorman and crowns are pretty similiar. Crowns don't come with bushings, you need to buy and press those in.

Interesting... That's basically the same front measurement as the Moog CC782 coil with 3/4" spacer that is frequently recommended. I wonder how the spring rates compare. I might have to look into those OME 930 coils.
I'm with you on the poly eye bushings. I use rubber for better flex and less noise.

From what I can find:
Moog CC782 146 lbs/in rate
OME 930 147 lbs/in
Rusty's 2" coils I couldn't find the spec.
I've got 2k miles on my suspension which is like Tbone's. Measured it earlier and still 19.5" up front and 19" in back.

Thanks. Im having a tough time trying to figure out what route i want to take. I thought the leafs were sagging but im at 17". Front is 18" which i think the previous owner has an extra rubber stock isolator in there. I have ironman shackle relocate boxes which i guess will give me 1.5" in back. But my bushings dont look good. Im up in the air what to do. Ome coils and rancho or ome leafs, moog coils and dorman leafs with new stock shackles or just throw the shackle relocation boxes on. I just bought 235s couple months ago and dont really want to go bigger right now.

how long have you been running the dormans?
ive read that they tend to sag rather quickly just wondering if thats the case with you?
my original plan was to get the crown and some poly bushings but now im not sure of anything lol

We're running Moog CC782s with 3/4" spacers. I'm running Crown HD leafs and Bilstein 5100 shocks. My flare to center is 19.25" front, 18.25" rear. I have about 16K miles on that setup with no sag, and I tow occasionally.
