I enjoyed the smooth ride of the 200...was a bit concerned on how much stiffer the OME kit would make it.

Background Data:
- 2013 LC
- 92k miles
- Completely Stock
- Recently purchased, tires came with Wrangler Fortitude HT 275/65/18 at ~35psi

Installed
OME Kit purchased used off of iH8mud member with ~10k miles on it
x2 OME2722 Rear Coil Springs
2 x Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport 61029 Rear Shocks
2 x Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport 91005 Front Struts
2 x OME2702 Front Springs

New: SPC Control Arms SPC-25465

Results:
On Road/Street Performance:
- Smooth ride, small bump compliance is still great
- Just slightly stiffer think of twisting knob on an air ride suspension from comfort to sports mode (I previously had a 2006 100 series with ACH, I always kept mine in sports mode like the ride and handling better.

Off-Road:
Stock Suspension in Pismo Sand Dunes, did bottom out the front a few times on the woops, car was fairly loaded and had 4 passengers. Only off roading driving, I have gotten to do in the 200 so far.
OME Kit: Not tested yet.


Next up:
Tires, considering going 305/65/18 KO2s over the standard issue 275/65/18 to get that width and a bit of extra height.

Anyone know the answers to following for running 305/65/18 KO2s with stock 18s?
1. Spacers needed? If so what size?
2. Bump stops needed? If so front, rear or both?
3. Mud Flap Removal or Trim?
4. Fender Trim?
5. Moving Fender in?

I saw all modifications were needed for running 305/70/17s with Rockwarriors.
