Biggest tires with OME lift?
Was wondering what was the largest size tires you all would go with if you used or are using the OME lift. do 35's rub?

i have installed an OME lift and it definitely gives you close to 3" of lift and it will clear 35's with only minor rubbing at a full stuff. install a 1" body lift and you'd be golden.

ive got 35s on mine , i havent wheeled it since i put the ome on but it looks like there is enough room to stuff them , with the right backspacing in the rim, im going with a flat style fender so there is no rubbing issuesAttachment 16023

I wouldn't go any bigger than 35" tires. I have 35s and had quite a bit of rubbing especially on the brace that supports the front fender flare and in the rear just above the pinch seam. The body lift should fix that though or you could add some 2" bump stops.

Yeah I guess with 2" bstops you would loose a lot of articulation. I want to run 35's so maybe my best bet will be to go with a 3 inch lift. I guess 33"s would be perfect on it

I am planning on upgrading to about 4" in not So distant future. I really like the ride of the OME, but would like to be taller and without rubbing on current tire setup.

yeah, that would solve that problem but honestly, if you're thinking about it, i can tell you that you will regret it if you don't go 35's

actually, i personally would recommend installing 2" bumpstops as the OME kit does not come with any. by doing this, you will not loose as much stuff as you would think and it would help to prevent rubbing of your fenders.

I would have to agree 100% there. I just got a Teraflex 3" for my 2-door, and was going to go w/ 33"s. I am GLAD I didn't! 35"s are perfect! 33"s would of been too small.
