So ... How did yours go compared to theirs ???

OME shocks are considered some of the better ones. Are they the best??? Not in my opinion. Over here that comes down to Tough Dog and Koni.

As for getting 1inch smaller rims... Why not keep the rims and just get higher side wall tires?? You may need to give the back wings a camel cut. aka talking Mr angry to it!!

I think 235x85R16s are about as big as you can go on a fairly standard to +2" disco - others will no more for certain re disco lifts and tire sizes...

Im more of a Defender man!!

Jeez, if I was pounding up and down the desert all day I'd be looking for a monotube or remote canister shock. Definately not a foam cell.

I run OME on my Disco and find them great (same as tuff puppy only better valving ) But I'd go with Slunnie, and look for some remote canister shockies, as they be heaps better on all that sand.
I all so run 265/70x16 tyres (instead of the standard 255/65x 16) at 20lbs they work well in our sandy desserts.
