So far the on road ride of the MC with OME is great. It's definitely much stiffer than stock, but handles all the bumps better than stock or my AEV on my last Sport. It handles crosswinds way better than stock because of the lack of body roll. Head on winds are probably a little worse only because of the added height and the fact that I run flat fenders so it can feel like I'm dragging a parachute sometimes. I can't wait to see its performance off road. Just waiting for the flooding to stop in Texas.
On road is a little different, I want to blame most of it on the heavy e-rated tires causing excessive bounce to the ride.

I'm going to say a lot of the stiffness is coming from the OME shocks + large tires. That being said though, this jeep rides fantastic off-road. Extremely comfortable, and feel way more confident with this setup than my old AEV setup.

OME have the least amount of compression dampening - even less than stock from what I can tell by compressing them. . Plus larger tires, if aired down properly should ride softer than stock but maybe them being "E" rated is throwing it off?? What’s the tire pressure? It's most definitely the stiffer spring rate over stock that's giving it the firmer ride. I absolutely agree that this kit improves handling. Not as "mushy" as stock.

I run 32 psi in my toyo comp mts. Rides great with the OME shocks. I driven all kind of lifted jeep, the MC springs and OME shocks is one of the best set ups I driven.
