OME + 29" M+S | Before & After
« on: February 03, 2008, 12:25:45 PM »
I installed 235/75/15 Definity Dakota MT tires (about 29") from Pep Boys on their "buy 3 get 4th free" sale. They fit very well with no rubbing on stock suspension. There's a noticeable difference in power & breaking, but it's not bad. I can take all but the steepest of uphill runs in 5th gear. I have not corrected the spedo in order to figure out what my gas mileage is going to be (anyone know how to do this?).

I installed the 2" OME springs & struts (OME962 & 955). I intentionally went a little stiffer / taller in the front as I plan on putting a big bumper, winch & skid plating up front. After that, I need to figure out if I'll need spacers to level the rear & what to do about shocks (napa?). I also removed the front sway bar. The ride is VASTLY superior - flexes well, and absorbs bumps very well without being too "floaty" feeling.

I got those sneakers on my Toy, in 31's.  I cant say enuff good things about them.  I like the fact that the blocks are siped, and are studdable.

Jason,
It was good meeting you. I saw you way back at the Worton's when we were getting some food for the trip. That was my first time in the snow, and loved it! :
