My understanding is that if you pair the OME springs with the OME (comfort) shocks, it will ride comparably to stock (probably better). I have OME springs with stock shocks, and it's a little stiff for my liking. Stock springs with OME shocks would probably give you a spongy ride (just for comparison). If anyone knows better, please correct me.

Keep in mind that moving up to 265/75 changes your speedo's accuracy slightly as well. Theoretically with 265/75, when your speedo shows 65mph, you're actual speed is likely 66-67mph. So essentially your actual mileage will be somewhat more than what your speedo reflects.
Nine years of science in college has to come in handy somewhere.

Sorry about the double post, and Especially sorry about the flagrant thread hijack, but I just ran across this tire size calculator - probably the best I've seen. http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp
Total circumference for a 265/70/16 (notwithstanding the differences in tread depth and casing specs from tire to tire) is 96.2", whereas the circumference for a 265/75/16 is 99.4", making the 75 profile 3.3% greater than the 70. If your speedo is set to the 265/70/16 tire, when it reads 65mph, you will actually be traveling 67.15mph. 75mph translates to 77.48mph.
I thought the difference was more like 5%, but that was just a guess. My speedo is off regardless, so I just put it at or below the speed limit, and I'm usually speeding anyway.
again, 4biker= (and not even the best nerd 
)

Here's another tire size calculator that tell you the speedo impact as well as the different dimensions.
