bump stop for OME lift

[cmdr jim]

Those of you with the OME HD front coils, if you could have your front bump stops extended down, how much would you extend them down. Looking at my RC spacer lift, it must lower the front bump stops 1-7/8" lower.

I wouldn't mess with the internal bump stops. A lot of us wheel the hell out of our rigs with the OME setup and upwards travel of the suspension has not caused issues like seen in the rear. Our front suspension already has minimal travel, I see no reason to constrain it any further.

I keep hearing this limited travel of the OME lift in the front, It makes me wonder why so many swear it's a better lift 2" lift. Would I be better off replacing my worn out struts, and staying with stock springs and RC spacers? Why is the OME a better front lift?

The shocks/springs are better for offroading. It has nothing to do with travel.... did you ever take those measurements to see how much down travel you have with the spacer lift?

I upgraded to OME because my stock springs were sagging really bad with the added weight from skids/equipment. Also the stock shocks noticeable allow the body to drop lower when going off obstacles which decreases the effective belly clearance. I think for on-road ride quality the stock shocks are slightly underdamped whereas for off-road performance you want slightly overdamped.
