that's good info about the spring rate not changing, although I've never really understood this. how can excessive preloading *not* affect it? are torsion bars not progressive?

in other news, I got the OME steering stabilizer on last night. I never even realized how sloppy my steering was before. that old Rancho stabilizer that was on there was "skippy" when I tested it out afterwards. it had some dead spots at the beginning of the stroke where there was no damping and would just slip before grabbing again. this is probably why I was feeling my steering a bit loose and wandery, not to mention jarry on hits.

anyway, I'm completely sold on this particular OME Suspension Kit as a *system*, like they recommend. hands down one of best vehicle upgrades I've made. great improvement to handling and ride quality, even when loaded up, just like they advertise.
