Just a quick update of my experience with the OME lift.

Love the ride! Took my mom Christmas shopping in it and she couldn't believe how smooth it was and how it seemed much quieter too.

And love the look. Will probably upgrade the tires at some point. Maybe 235/85's to keep the rolling resistance down and a little better bite in winter.

Couple of uses wondering if anyone else has noticed this. The steering wheel seems to catch and make a think noise at one point of a turn in bother directions. Only happens sometimes though. Ideas?
Also notice the jeep is a little twitchier on the highway. I haven't gotten the alignment yet and the springs aren't broken in yet (only 120 kms so far)
I am holding it will settle down a little bit and then with the alignment make it a little more stable. Does that seem right?

Cheers! Will now attempt another pic...

If you haven't gotten an alignment yet of course its going to be twitchy
You're way out right now
When we do them here we drive them maybe 5-6 miles and get the alignment right away
Its wearing your tires etc right now
and 235-85s will be too big without a regear
