Hey guys, I got a 2009 2dr XS 6sp with the upgraded wheel and tire package. Want a better ride both on and off road. Not planning on lifting anytime soon, but will be installing 275-70-17 Mastercraft Courser C/T tires next month. Curious for those in the know, should I upgrade to the cheaper Rubicon shock or go full boor to the OME nitrocharger shock for 0-2" lift? I may upgrade the coils to stiffer set in the future as well. Most of time is spent on road but would prefer a slighly more compliant, better controlled ride without going too stiff. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

 

I didn't like Rubicon shocks on the rear of my Sport. I thought they were a little harsh. I love my OME's for the reasons you're looking for...compliant and controlled.

 

Thanks for the info. Did you go with OME sport or the next model up? Do you have any lift? Should I be concerned with the added weight of the new tires causing any negative affects in the ride and handling? Sorry so many ?'s I just enjoy being thourough. Thanks again

 

Mine are just the Nitro Sports. Bought used on the forum. I don't think that tire upgrade is anything to worry about. I'm running 315's on ProComps with heavy OEM (not OME ) springs and the OME shocks handle that weight fine.

My profile has the specifics of the small mods I've done.

 

Love the OME NitroCharger Sports! I have a JKU Rubi with a 2.5 lift Cooper STT 33's and the ride is excellent on and off road!! Perofrmed better than expected!!

 

Great guys thanks for the info. When the time comes, looks like OME nitro sports! Enjoy your Jeeps!
