My 1997 Trooper springs have sagged and I was considering the OME 912's but didn't want much of a lift. If I put in the 912's and didn't crank the torsion bars would that work or would it look too slanted and would I have to get an alignment?

obviously, thats a subjective question: IMHO, i would want to match the t-bars with the ome lift. However, although it would look more slanted than stock, it wouldn't be horribly eyecatching.
btw, the t-bar crank is easy... and for 1.25" of lift, you don't neccessarily have to get an alignment

As far as I understand the matter, OME 913 will give you stock height.

I spoke with someone at ARB USA and ended up ordering the OME 929's from rocky-road.com should be about .75 inch lift and they were only $69 each plus the shipping was free. Hopefully they won't be too stiff and I will crank up the torsion bars if need be.

They will not be too stiff,I can just about guarantee that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> They ride great in a lighter Rodeo.

I put 929's on my Amigo, 3" to 4" lift and rides much smoother than stock. Cannot beat the progressive spring rate. Will post picture when I get my Vehicross wheels and new tires installed.

I've had the OME 929 springs installed for about the last 1,000 miles and all I can say is WOW! I wish I would have installed them years ago, the ride is incredibly smooth, less body sway, and better handling. All that plus about an inch of lift, I would highly recommend the OME 929's to anyone with a Trooper.
