Thanks, I've always been a Bilstein fan & was leaning that way. After reading about the OME sports, they may be the way I go.

I went with the Sports. I installed the springs & shocks this morning. I have not been offroad yet, but I did assault some speed bumps

No boat feeling, it still corners nice, but floats over the sharper bumps.

I have OME LD springs and nitrocharger sport shocks.... The ride quality is much better than stock.... I don't have an opinion about the Bilstein though

You can't go wrong with ither brand.

If you want the best ride possible get a set of elka's.

do the elkas really ride that much better than the ome's?

35K on my OMEs and they still ride great and have held up great to the WI winters. Had them on my 04 Liberty as well with no problems.
