OME lift question, Super stiff ride

[msand1977]

Discount Tire agreed to take the tires back and exchage them for a different load rating at no cost. I'll see how that goes. Kudos to Discount for helping me out on this.

I'm not sure why discount gave me E rated, but I think I'm going to try and return them.

Because they cost more or they had stock they needed to rotate through ;-)

I am running 2883 front, 2895E in the rear, with 5100 shocks front and rear. The front is great, very minimal break dive and much less roll. The rear is pretty stiff unloaded. Add 150# in the rear and the ride is perfect. My rear spring rate is 260#, compared to a stock 150#. Your rear rate is the same at 260#. Add the OME Sport shocks and "E" load tires and your ride would have to be pretty firm without a load in the rear. I'm running BFG AT's with a "C" load range. As long as I have 150# in the rear compartment, I love the ride, but unloaded, it is still pretty stiff in the rear, even with the "C" load range tires.
