Someone from this board has put on the 919's cant remember who , oh ya, Conman did. The 919's from what I have heard add the 3" of lift for a Trooper rather than useing 1" poly bushing spacers on the rear coil springs. The 912's only yield 2" of lift, but you need the poly spacers to achieve 3".
Hope this helps.

Yep that was me. Tad from PlanetIsuzoo.com was the first to go with the 919. I had both 912 and 919 and there is a difference between the two. the 912 was softer, maybe a tad stiffer than the stock coils and got me almost 2" of lift over stock(even after a year it was still close to 2"). I switched from RS9000 to all OME HD shocks and the 919 coils in rear. It was almost 1" higher than the 912!(which meant it was over 2.5"+ over stock height). IIRC, the 919 are suppose to be the same coil but with higher preload which is probably where I got the extra height over the 912. The 919 and OME HD shocks are def. much stiffer than the RS9000/912 combo. When I first changed over, I was thinking of switching the rear shocks to the non HD OMEs and going back to the 912. But now living with this setup for 6 months, I'm keeping the setup as I like the firmness of the truck now as it handles better on-road. Plus now when I goto the beach, it does not bottom out like the 912/rancho setup did.
Two downfalls is that if it's a choppy road, you def. feel how firm the setup is. The other downfall is that it did not settle at all so the Trooper has a slight rake cause the rear is higher. I'm not sure what I'm going to do as I don't want to crank the T-bars anymore.
I think ARB's recommendation if it's a daily driver is the HD Shocks up front and the Comfort shocks in the rear and the 912 coils. I would probably say go with that if you don't carry much stuff and don't tow often. But my Wife who drives the Trooper every day does not complain about the ride and the baby seems fine with it too. Only complaining she does is that she can't park in some parking garages as the Trooper now is over 6'3" with the 265/70 tires. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Let me know if you have any other questions.
