The guys at Fat Bobs Garage, Went through there stock of stuff for me and we found that Toyota Sequoias have the same size spring as our rear coil sprung Monteros. That means you can easily get 2 inch poly spacers. I will put mine in tonight and let you know of there are any problems. Happy Lifting. FatBobs

Dodge 4wd front springs are the same size too. They would hold a lot of weight. But might not fully compress, limiting articulation.
Anybody have spring rate and unsprung height info for Dodge 4wd trucks front springs, Toyota Sequoia rear springs, And Montero Rear springs So we can compare?

I'd bet a call to OME or other spring manufacturer would answer that, if not a visit to their website.

i just found out that roger brown doesn't make the spacers for the montero anymore Maybe because they didn't fit? I had ordered a set from him, but they didn't fit my SR. He was cool about it and took them back, so I'm not complaining. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> It's really cool that there is an off-the-shelf application that fits. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

They are a great fit. They will fit the stock springs perfectly. I have some Ironman springs that are fatter and they fit with a little trimming. They work very well. I'll through up some pics after the weekend.

Thanks for this great information. I just ordered a pair from Fat Bobs, $65 + $10.36 shipping. I will install these along with the new OME suspension I ordered last week. Hopefully, they will work together. Combined, this should lift the rear 2.75", which should put me at the limit of cranking the front torsion bars to level it out. I should probably check into trimming the bump stops <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Definatly trim your bump stops it make the ride much better.
If the OME springs are made out larger diameter metal than stock springs, it won't fit that great. I have some Ironman Springs and they were a lot thicker than stock springs, I trimed the spacers so the springs would fit. One slid off so I need to do some more trimming. Let us know about the OME springs.
Also the top spring perch on the frame is a tight fit in the spacers, but once I let the weight of the truck down on the springs the spacers pressed right into place.
