Re: Shock Question
Hi Andy,
OME nitros are the cat's nuts. I got them with the RE 4.5" lift for my
XJ. They handle great on road with a firm ride and no lateral slop when
cornering. They stand up to real hard hits with no bottoming out. I now
fear no pot hole. When slow crawling over broken ground in low range,
the OMEs behave like soft hydros and allow fully responsive, uninhibited
articulation.
Yes, they're more than twice the price of Doestch, but they really do
perform with their continuous response from slow crawl to hard hit.
Also, with the four coils on your TJ, I suspect you'd find the OMEs will
significantly dampen the oscillating 'bouncy buggy' effect that can hit
you when digging for traction on a lose surface incline.
The other half of the equation is durability. I won't say they're a
better value than Doestch unless they have a significantly longer life.
I've only had mine for half a year so I'll have to wait and see.
