There's a little more to the story-
The DII specific springs are not yet finished. The fronts are done, we are still testing rears and finding that there are more differences in the amount of lift on the DII's when dealing with different versions. Rear A/C etc on some models means different weight.
That being said, most companies like RTE/OME etc use a DI spring on the DII. The DII gets less lift out of a DI rear spring, so then the process gets interesting. Usually, using a 3" rear spring and a 2" front spring from a DI will give a DII a 2" lift, although the rear sometimes is slightly higher. A DI 2" rear won't be high enough. You can swap in DI spring seats or little spacers to try to fine tune the height, but it's not an exact science in some cases.
So- the final answer: The DII specific lift is not done. We can supply DI springs (like everyone else) but the results (like everyone else's) can vary.

Bama,
Why don't you order 751OME front springs, OME HD shocks and a 2" TRE spacer and height adjusters from RTE, makes a nice set up.

he has coils in the rear mike

OK, I am going to talk to my eye Dr., I read that just the opposite.
Even so, I would still go with the same package and just go to the HD rear OME coils.
Actually, I think I am going to wash my glasses.
Take care,
Mike

Some people don't like the OME's- that's why there are other options.
We just did an 03 SE7 w/rear air and it's dead-nuts level with the BB3 rear and the BB2 front (same setup RTE uses basically) but without the extra weight of not having that stuff in back- the S models usually sit better on the 2" rear and a DI spring seat. All the OME lifted DII's I've seen weren't perfectly level, but that for most people doesn't matter. It's just best to plan it out before you do it so you know what'll happen. We put RTE springs on two 04 DII's with rear seats and one got 3.5" lift front and rear, the other got 4" front and 2.7" rear. It seems to be a bit of a crap-shoot what you'll get. I run 3" rears and the prototype 2" fronts that are DII specific and it's a tad high in the back-but a 2" wouldn't be high enough. That's why we're doing a DII specific rear.
