Has anyone ever put OME 762's on the rear of a Disco 1 with stock shocks? | ||

I am going to this weekend. I was told there will not be any problems. Any taller, and you will need longer shocks. | ||

Not sure about the 762's, I put the 781's on the rear of my D2 and was told I should be ok with stock shocks for a while, but the shocks ould top out if any major offroading was done. I just went ahead and bought the shocks too. Anyway, that was with the 781's, not for sure on the 762's alhtough I am sure it would be a similar deal. | ||

Josh, I have the OME HD (751F/762R) set up on my D1 and am running the stock shocks. Every thing is good so far and have had the springs on for a couple months now. | ||

Scott- With the stock shocks, are you getting any lift? If so, how much approx? Just curious. | ||

I have the HD set up with stock shocks and 235 85 16's. I got about a 2.3 inch lift. The Shocks wont add or take way lift, but they will give better articulation. | ||

Thanks, Matt. Do you have any pictures of your truck? I'm lifting the Disco soon and trying to decide on a setup. Looks like I'm going with OME 761F and 762R. Let me know. | ||

OME shocks are only 10mm longer at full extension than stock. So the whole OME articulation thing is a bit overrated. I ran 762's with 3/4" spacers and stock shocks - no problems whatsoever. Replaced with N44's recently just because shocks were due for replacement. Only difference is a firmer ride. | ||

scott, thanks, thats what i wanted to hear. i think i read everything on the internet on the subject and didnt find anyone else running that setup. I dont really want to do off roading as a hobby right now, i just want some more capability for hunting and what not. that should be sufficient. |
