I finished installing the OME lift/suspension about two weeks ago. 2.5-3" lift, yeah right. Try more like 12" lift! It looks awesome! I measured from the ground to the rocker panel, 19.5 inches! The Heavy kit is incredible! It's a bit stiff and bouncy, but much better than the sagging stock springs and broken shocks! Plus, everything bounces on the trashed Utah roads.
I bought BFG AT 33x950 R15 tires for the stock wheels. The guy at Discount Tire said the 1050's were unavailable, discontinued...so I got the 950's to ensure I could get replacements if I blow a tire. I caled BFG to verify about the 1050s. Turns out they are not gone forever. They discontinued the version with a "Q speed" rating of 100. They now make the "R speed" rating tire of 106. This new version is just on back order. Popular size I guess.
The tall skinnies (950) look decent and perform well, but a bit skinny for my preference.
Many posts stated it is fine to run a 1050 on the stock 15x6 wheel.
Am I crazy to hassle with exchanging the 950s for the 1050s?
I am considering new wheels so I can run 1250s. Any wheel recs? How do the 1050s and 1250s compare for performance?
Any input is much appreciated!
