Shock length - rear ome sport vs ome lt
Does anyone know the shock length difference between the ome nitro sport and the long travel version(60067 and 60067L)?
Is it exactly 2.5" ?
I have the LTs right now and at full axle drop my rear coils fall out and my sway bar hits the tire. Just 1.75 inches higher and everything is fine. I don't want to add wheel spacers so I'm thinking the easiest solution is shorter shocks for the rear

I'm assuming you mean your coils fall out? Although I don't know how the track bar would hit the tire. but maybe consider either a trackbar relocation kit, or at the very least so spring clips to keep the coils in place? I have the non LT version of the ome, and I know I wish I had the long travels. would be nice to get that extra flex

Well as it turns out, the only way this happens is if my rear axle drops straight down and I'm not planning on jumping my jeep so I'm going to keep my setup as is.

Do you have rear bump stop extensions? They come with the rear panhard/trackbar extension kit. They are roughly 2in blocks that bolt onto the top of the rear axle tubes. It will slightly limit flex but it will prevent over flex and keep your trackbar from hitting the R.R. shock at full flex to that side. I have a 2.5 inch lift and long travel shocks and have tested the flex with no issues.
