I've heard that OME shocks are the softest of the gas charged shocks.

I don't have a lot to compare to, but I had RC 2.5, and those shocks sucked. Put on OME's and it completely changed the ride. A ton softer. Now i have OME coils to go with them too.

Take advantage of this. Huge difference in ride potential/capability.

Trust Matt: I don't run the Rancho's, but after we installed 616FUN Rancho lift with the 9000 shocks, the ride was really nice!

Put the 9000 ranchos on the front on the softest setting was better then went back to the blisteins was a difference now i have to try front and rear ranchos.

The rancho 9000's were just too short though. The RK lift flex's so much that the rancho's seem to not allow full articulation. I think they will work fine with my sport lift but you def need a longer shock. If I remember correctly the bilstiens were quite a bit longer?? Where to go now.

Coils are the major factor in daily driving ride quality, not shocks.

Get yourself a set of the EVO Plush Coils for around $360 and you literally won't believe the difference! Cheapest, best mod I've done yet.
