OME Standard Nitrocharger Sport vs BP-51 Setup

[LCMemphis]

Thanks CKKONE

have you looked at TJM XGS Series 4000? From what I read on other forums it’s softer than ome nitro chargers. It might not be good if you off road a lot, but for your purposes, it’s a pretty good option.

Thanks..I have a true offroad vehicle...heavily modified Trooper. This is my DD and only offroad is farmroads and occasional mud road to and from hunting fields. I'm not afraid of getting dirty but want better road manners when going to and from. Thanks.

After only a week on 0ME suspension I would say it is soft, plush, and I do even go as far to say a little mushy. Of course I am running Ko2 34 inch and 18 inch rims.

@Scylth, do you have a couple side profile pictures of your LC you can post? I’d love to see your setup!

Here’s a pic after washing this weekend. Also, I have OME 2723 rear springs for anticipated future weight increase (I carry about 80 lbs of gear, and have a 24 gal aux tank, but will likely have a drawer system in the future, and a rack if I can figure out how to still clear the garage door) which contributes to the rake.

How’s the ride with the heavier springs and no weight at the present time. I’m assuming pretty stiff, but is it really harsh....

 

[Scylth]

It rides like a stiff SUV or truck, which is what, IMO, it should feel like. It’s not harsh at all. I’m in middle settings for compression and rebound, so I could change it either way.

Thanks. I’m thinking along the same lines as you, will probably go with the heavier springs on the initial install, looking towards added weight of bumpers, winch, etc in the future.

@Scylth Looks Awesome! More pictures please!!
You think your 285/75/17's would rub if you didn't have the lift? I'll probably do 285/70/17's but I like to keep my options open.

@Lroy, sorry for the slow response. I get a little rubbing even with the lift. It’s at full turn, and is only slight. I trimmed the mud flaps and that eliminated most of it.
