How's the ride w/ OME 885/895 & 140s/141 shocks?

I'm in a dilemma here.

I am getting so close to buying my lift for my 06 SR5 and keep chickening out because I am not sure what this is going to do to the ride of my T4R.

I have seen some here with this setup and wanted to ask, before spending the money, what those of you using this setup think of the new ride and feel of your rig with this config.

Stiffer? Still smooth ride? Cornering difference?, Pro's Con's, etc.

I can walk into my Central 4Wheel Drive, which is local to me in the Sac area, and buy the same setup that Toytec has on their site and get it on the same day once I get some more opinions/info about the ride. :)

Any input/info/suggestions you guys could provide would be great.

I am thinking about doing the exact same set up within a year. From who Ive talked to at my local 4wheel shop, the manager said that those shocks and springs are very stiff. If you go onto the ARB OME website, they describe all the different types of shocks they sell and how stiff, smooth they will be. I know the front ones you described are the stiffer ones to hold the weight of their bumpers.
 
ProMeds TR4OTM pics are actually what got me wanting that setup.

I read through that thread and he mentioned the rid, not that I don't believe what he has to saying, just wanted some additional input/opinions.

Only reason I'm looking for as many opinions as I can is I don't want to get this setup and have it be to stiff, especially since the 4x4 shops I've talked to pretty much said to go with 884/895 since I don't have front weight added but do pull a boat and/or other trailers.
 
GOOD RIDE

I have this kit but I also have a polarbear brush guard on the front. I like the ride quality this kit offers.

Sure.

OME is stiff... Very stiff...

And the back will be raised about 3-3.5" not 2" or whatever they claim.
 
I love mine. Sure it's a bit stiffer over bumps, but I'm a country girl and it doesn't bother me. Since I'm local, wanna meet up and you can drive Ruffian?
