Hey Gang,
Looking for some input on the 60024L and 60025L Extended Length Shocks by OME. I am going mad over whether or not these will be a good decision, given their longer travel.
I have searched just about everywhere, and due to their relatively new addition to the OME lineup, there are few out there that actually know their open/closed lengths.
I am currently running stock shocks on my lift (I know, I know), and I hear them top out on most higher speed stuff including speed-bumps and good size compressors on the road. Offroad they top out, but it doesn't scare me because it is slow enough...
I have an email into OME tech for the lengths, as it would be a good place to start I think.
My thoughts are...
Possibly Good:
More negative travel, more articulation, less topping out
Possibly Bad:
Bottoming out on OME 779/762 with D1 Spring Seats
Needing extended brake-lines/abs
Possible front driveshaft contact with front cross member (spacer needed)
Rear conversion to double-cardan
I am not running sway bar disconnects, and the sway bars are present.
My thoughts are that the OME 20064/20065 combo is only a half inch longer than the stock LR shock, and I am running an unladen (no winch/bumper/rear bumper) truck currently. I do however carry about 150lbs of gear in the back almost everyday...
HELP! I don't want to cause more trouble than it is worth!
