    I think a lot of the people who complain about a really stiff ride after the OME are the ones who also just installed LT tires with their lifts and inflated them to 50+ psi. I honestly didn't notice a huge difference when I swapped out my stock springs/struts/RC and installed the OME HD except that its nowhere near as "floaty". But I also didn't change my tires (E rated set at 38psi).... so I really think the tires are the biggest influence.
    I noticed quite a difference going from Bilstein HD Struts with BDS spacer to the OME struts and HD Coils. I have load range C Goodyear MTR's w/Kevlar running 35 psi. The max psi on these tires is 50 psi. I do like the stiff ride, dont get me wrong. But I know others really dont want that. I just dont see me installing front and rear bumpers anytime soon since Im going to focus on getting the XK paid off so I think I might swap them out for the MD coils.

    When you swapped the struts you had the same tires before/after as well?

    It would be interesting to see what happens when you swap to MD coils. .. for both ride quality and lift height. Are you going to do it soon or just thinking about doing it?

    I will buy your HD coils if you switch them.
