Lift details...

I see from your sig you used OMEs, but how much lift are you airing out there bro!?? How much did those set you back? How is the ride?

Are you happy with what you got?

It looks SCHWEET!

The tires are the 32x11.50 Dunlop Mudrovers for sale at $82 a piece on tirerack. I got lifetime balancing, a tire warranty, and the tires for $482 from NTB.

I didn't really measure the amount of lift I got, since this is a 2wd I can really otice a lot of change. It rides just as good as before if not slightly better, the only thing I notice is it takes a little more gas to get it going...but its not too bad. The tire noise is definitely there, but I like the noise so I'm not bothered by it.

I spent a total of about $1300 on everything (lifetime balance and alignment incl.), I'm VERY happy with it.

One more time...

How much lift is possible with them and what other things did you have to adjust or extend with these new OMEs? I am looking at getting some suspension lift in addition to my body lift.

All I did was put on the lift, didn't do any extensions or anything of the sort. I would imagine most would see a 2.5" lift in the front, 3-3.5" in the back for 4wd's.
