I'm sorry....I'm completely missing something.

What does your bumper have anything to do with your shocks?

What are pedders?

Why do you not have the "option" to lift your truck? Is there a law or something preventing this?

answer is your way

my bumper gets hit all the time from the stones as car nose to low

www.pedders.com is pedders

in israel this car is not coming with this option and if you want to buy the us model and bring it by your self you are not allowed .

hope this answers your qestion

i was also offered and ome kit and today full kit but another buyer here told me not to go for it as its changes completely the car and it becomes not nice on the road.

thanks

We can't buy our trucks any higher either. There are no factory lifts available. All of us over here run aftermarket suspension systems to get the lift.

I believe that all of us on this forum run OME kits. Yes, when you lift a truck you do take a small hit in handing...but I'd say its for the better. I feel more of the road, yes -- but that's probably do to larger, knobier tires -- not the suspension's fault. My truck handles way better now with the OME kit -- I can turn faster, harder with less body roll, even though I am 3" higher now.

But don't expect OME kits to look good with stock tires. You will have a large gap in the top of the well. IMHO, tires and lifts go together.

$150 USD to install? Um...you guys sure have some great pricing over there then!

The BFG A/Ts are what a lot of drivers use. I have a preference to NItto TGs. BFG doesn't make the size I wanted.

 

[chimyz]

BFGs are a great tire. I've had them on many trucks, and for a tire that performs well on light duty off-road, it is really quiet on road. You wouldn't be disappointed with them at all.

tnks guys for the answer

still need more to understand what am i going to be facing with the ome kit on the road can any one explain it to me please

thanks

All the OME does is raise (if you choose the lift version) the vehicle and makes it a little firmer ride. It gives the feeling of better handling too. The OME springs and shocks replace the originals with a no fuss alternative. They are built a little beefier too.

Factory alignment settings are not effected in any way.

Well by a rule you should always get an alignment done everytime you remove the coilovers from the front.

At least I have always thought so.....or am I misunderstanding?

Once you install suspension of any kind you need to do an alignment. The good thing about the OME is that it can be aligned within factory specs, but you are correct, any changes at the wheel or suspension usually lead to a necessary alignment.

Let them break in. There is NO way that in 1 day he could have done this. It's also a major question about tires choice. LT tires WILL make road vibrations more severe.
