Hello all,
Tried the search but old man emu appears to be too short of a search term. Looking at the OME 2 1/2" set up for my 99XJ which sees 95% pavement driving. Kit includes front coils, leaf springs, and shocks. People rave about the ride quality. Only complaint in the reviews I've read was rubbing on the lower control arms with 31's. I'm going about this a bit backwards--I really NEEDED new tires this winter so I went with the 31's. I haven't been wheeling but the tires do rub the LCAs close to full lock. Since the OME system doesn't come with new LCAs I'm probably going to experience the same rubbing. So--questions:
1. Am I thinking straight--will I continue to get rubbing at right turns?
2. Is the secret to this legendary ride on OME suspensions due to their shocks?
3. If #2 is true would most any other 3-3 1/2" lift ride well if I use the correct Bilstien shock?
Any questions I missed? Thanks all.
