Side by side: OME HD+ Vs Superlift

[Matt]

Mark was so kind to come by today and make me wish, yet again, that I had the Superlift. I was actually surprised to see how much of a difference there was between my OME HD+ (the + means additional lift on top of the OME HD springs) vs his Superlift.

So now I know... my planned Superlift+ will be significantly larger

Note our tire sizes aren't that much different. His were ~3/4" taller.

Almost makes me want to hold out a little longer for the SuperLift.

So with the difference in tires size means that he only has 3/4" more ground clearance than you?

Edit: I guess what I'm looking for is the difference in ground clearance between the two.

We've been down this road before. It's more than ground clearance, it's also suspension travel.

Yeah, as it sits he has
- 1" more breakover clearance (but hell, 1" is a bigger rock!)
- approx 3" more down travel
- flat suspension angles (saves CV's, steering rack, balljoints & tie rods)
- the ability to add 1" more lift and bigger tires as well if he chooses.


Next to an XK with a modified superlift running 34s, there'd be significant clearance advantages. Thats what i plan on running,

Yea i knew you are after suspension travel but I was jsut curious as to the ground clearance.

PM coming your way off topic.

I wana put mine next to the superlift! Unfortunately there are no lifted commanders really anywhere near me haha. There is a guy that has a zone 4" lift with 33" Mickey Thompson mt's on his and mine is significantly bigger than his.

[Matt]

From what ive seen, the Zone kit is really only 3".

[oleblue27]

Yeah I know that's what I've heard/seen as well. But like I said, mine still towers over his. He's running brand new Mickey Thompson 33x12.5 and has no rubbing so I don't know. If I recall, those tires run just a bit larger than advertised?
