I'm looking for a bit more lift out of the OME HD suspension. What are the general thoughts on body lifts?.>JB   dave j matthews (Dave_matthews) New Member Username: Dave_matthews Post Number: 12 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 10:28 pm:    dont do it it looks like crap...except on maybe a RR classic. just replace your OME with a RTE lift   John Brazelton (Florida_rover) New Member Username: Florida_rover Post Number: 8 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 10:30 pm:    Would that be new shocks, springs and mounts?.>JB   Al (Discoal) New Member Username: Discoal Post Number: 32 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 10:56 pm:    Make's wheeling easier! With 255 85 16 BFG MT Km it looks right also. I didn't feel any difference other than stepping up to get in. With HD springs and shocks you'll be cutting less with the 2" lift. The only problem I see is the bumpers being lower. If you plan right,RTE makes bumpers with the correct offset. With the RTE front bumper and Winch, the approach angle is appreciated. Next time,I'll do the body lift first and then Springs and shocks.   James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 427 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 11:38 pm:    The body lift looks fine if done right. Pick what tire size you want then pick the lift to fit that tire. I've got 5inches of RTE lift and 255/85 and they fit very well.
