Not going to hurt a thing!
OME's lift is the same advertised height (although you actually net about 3"). Are you going with springs or the spacer kit? If springs, the OME shocks will help with the ride quality of the RC springs. If you are going with the spacer kit ride will be on par or slightly better than stock.
OME makes a really good shock IMO.

You'll definitely be good to go! Looks like you already have quite the build up on it. Any reason you are going with the OME shocks?

just for now im going to get the front shocks because those are the ones that i messed up.

BUMPSTOPS i have 2" body lift pucks that i can cut down and make my own bump stops to eliminate me blowing them out.
BRAKELINES i have a set brakelines that are for a 4-6in lift

the one thing im worried about is blowing out the shock. so i might need the compressed shock lenght for STOCK AND OME LT shocks. can anyone help me here.

now remember with the RC 2.5in BB the spacer went above the bump stop. so wouldnt that be like adding a longer bump stop.

Sorry to high jack, but what is the best way to retain the rear spring when using coils and LT shocks. Is everybody using upper and lower retainers?
