I have a 98 explorer sport, and can not seem to find any leaf springs by OME that will raise it up 2 inches. Does anyone have a part number, or know somewhere where I can order them from? Thanks.

I didn't think that the OME springs would raise it. I just thought they where better. But you can combine them with some Warrior shackles and have a great rear end... :mattmoon:
Yeah, I have shackles on it all ready. It is that monoleaf, so add a leafs are out of the question. The front still sits up about an inch and a half higher. Maybe the leafs from a four door would work, I could add a leaf to those. Will leafs from any year model 4 door explorer work, or does it have to be a 98 like mine? The prices at the spring shops are rediculous out here.
I am running a four door leaf pack. It isn't bad. They still eventually flatten out. But I am planning on getting an add a leaf to stiffen them or the ome springs. So if that is what you are looking for go for it. But you could do an add a leaf to the mono-leaf, just take out a spacer or two.

That's exactly what they will do. Raise your rear end 2"
The part number for the OME rear 2" lifted springs is OME-36. I had these before and they are great.
I have not been able to find a dealer to order these springs from. Is there a number to call or website to order them from, like 4wheelparts, or desertrat? I dont see that theese guys deal the OME springs though. Thanx
I've got a "Western United States Dealer List" for ARB. It looks like Texas isn't considered western, but there are two shop in NM that are listed to carry OME products:
Banzai 4x4 located in Omaha, NM - (402)-558-6399
Randy's Shop located in Beatrice, NM - (402)-223-2721

Like Ray said, They lift the rear up 2 inches. I've had mine for about 7 months love em'. The construction of these springs are by far superior to the originals. They are very strong. I've been beating the cr*% out of them. Lots of Baja style offroading. I've found that the ride is alot better/smoother than the add-a-leafs.
i Just got my OME springs in today. I thought they came with bushings but i was wrong. I'm gonna install them friday once i get bushings pressed into them.
They don't come with becuase they were designed for a 1996 Explorer.. and use the factory bushings.. problem is, factory bushings are poly and most places don't stock them (even the big spring placed in Tucson don't have them)..
I talked to Bill at http://www.4by4connection.com/ earlier today and he can order all OME Parts. He was about $30 cheaper than my local ARB dealer here in Louisville, even with shipping.
