    Is OME Still the Go-To 2" Lift Kit?

    I am really liking the LT235/85/16. That said, @pm's 7.5x16 looks very interesting at about 1/2"-3/4" taller while maintaining a similar narrow-ish footprint. *either choice requires a fresh cam and decent compression~exhaust because both are like adding an extra OD gear in 5th [or the slushbox...

    Is OME Still the Go-To 2" Lift Kit?

    What's the diameter of those? ~30.5? The Roverclaws are ~31.7 new. Mine measure out at 32" with 32psi

    Is OME Still the Go-To 2" Lift Kit?

    I absolutely needed the 2" lift to clear the tall & skinnies. Also needed the Camel Cut out back. At least with the Atlander Roverclaw MT2: https://discoweb.org/index.php?threads/camel-cut-how-much.36861/post-1132906 Everything else sounds great but I'm curious: why a one inch spacer? 2"...

    Is OME Still the Go-To 2" Lift Kit?

    100% worth the money. I've had them on for a couple decades and they have sagged to maybe 1-1/2+ inches. Quality stuff. With 235/85/16's (MT's) you *WILL* benefit greatly from the lift! It lets you clear the front trailing fenders with zero rub. You will still need to camel-cut the rears...

    Brakes.. Can't get good parts anymore

    Quality. You can pour your own, if you want to conver to urathane. Lots of durometers available. I used to make subframe bushings for bimmer subframes and lower links. I was pretty messy but it worked pretty well. You have to make a jig to align the bits of course.

    Overfinch P38 - LT1/4 running on Bosch Management?

    Corvette valve covers, aftermarket runners...and 100% Tuned Port Injection :) Man, that thing is PACKED tight in the front. Those ceramic headers are nice! My next build will have the spare-no-expense heat-insulating ceramic coating for sure.
