Yes OME done away with the one line of shocks they had for a long time to the newer versions and in turn raised the prices across the boards for their lifts

This means you have to go ALL THE WAY BACK to every single post about OME and change the prices in posts. :ROTFL:

Any more information about the new shocks?

:roll: There has to be one in every crowd :ROTFL:

The newer ones are suppose to be better with less fade over long periods of offroading etc.
Well even on uneven street surfaces , shocks heat up and these new ones are suppose to dissipate heat better, last longer , ride even better . We'll see how they do.
So yes spread the word far and wide

Well I didn't lie, Tom lol

As for him testing them, I'm sure he'll find someone. I can't see him lowering the KJ...

Looks like it

OK back up a little bit
I haven't updated all of my info since they changed over
Looks like the rear shocks are Nitrocharger Sport 60069
the N132Ls are the old number of course

But fronts are 927 springs and 90009 front shocks

See my addendum above on the rear shocks
I'm going to make sure those are the same length as the old 132Ls

JeepMonkey has some parts available, specifically the IronMan Rear Shocks (12712LGR) and a set of OME Rear Springs (OME273-1).

Would I be able to run this as a combination in the rear? I'd then look for a front setup. Still only look for 1.5" to 2" of lift.

The latest Ironman shocks are ready for 3-4 inchhes of lift so would be ok ,.....so yes
still waiting on updated specs on the new OMEs

Great, thanks tom.

I'm drawing a blank here... I need bump stops for both the front and rear, right?

Any ideas where to get hockey pucks? My search has been more difficult than I imagined. I've tried the big box chain stores, as well as some local sporting goods shops... I was hoping to get them from a physical store, but as a last chance I can order some online through Amazon or something.
