Are they new ones? I usually put them side by side and the one that is taller goes on the drivers side. |

good looking springs though pulled the pack apart to get the main leaf out for spring hanger setup , the ome main leaf is 15mm longer than the rancho and has heaps better droop. |

efs and king springs are a much stiffer spring than the OME's, so yes, if you are going to do a ruf, get ome's. Make sure you do specify you want the softer rated springs, as they do make a heavy duty spring as well. |

I disagree. OME HD rears have a full length 2nd leaf that goes a LONG way to prevent springs bending. I've set up more RUF cars than I care to remember and I'd never recommend anything other than HD leaves. Cars with a light front end can run 3 leaves, heavy cars need 4 leaves. Steve. |

Steve. steves right I rang ARB today to check and was told the difference is only the number of leafs in the pack not a leaf rate difference. |

Well I stand corrected  I'm only going off my experience. My nephew has King Springs and my brother has EFS springs in their zooks, and they both have a totally differant ride to mine with the OME's. I do have the softer rated springs (but I hav'nt done a RUF) and it's pretty smooth to drive and flexes up pretty well offroad.
