Damn - the 33's look so small, only an inch bigger than Jeep's stock 32's.

Its obvious that I'll need 35's afterall.

Baltchief,

Looks good. What tires are those? How does the OME ride feel compared to stock as far as stability on the road?

BaltChief

Those are the Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/75/16 or 33's x 11.5....The ride is better than stock, a little firmer. I like it and am glad I went this way over the BB's. I just hope it performs as well offroad.

Do you have the OME Shocks?

BaltChief

Nope, I bought the OME springs and Skyjacker shocks......saved about $200

michaelt

I hope that worls out. I have read over and over how OME coordinates their springs to their shocks. It seems all that R/D might be worth $200

BaltChief

Agreed, but worse case, I buy the OME shocks down the road.

michaelt

Thats true.

TEEJ

The whole matching of springs to shocks is not that big a deal, sure, its important to do it for the best results, but all they do is matching the rebound/compression to the spring rates and vehicle its meant for.

Your choice of tire for example will change what is "matched"...as the extra weight of a big tire bouncing or needing damping, etc...will change what rebound/compression you need, which impacts he matching spring rates, etc. (A vicious cycle...)



The OME's are just plain 'ol twin tube shocks, nothing amazing.
