You want a stiffer ride go with Bilstein.

You want a smoother ride OME LT's

Personally I dont like the Bilstein ride quality. The shocks is a very good shock though.

Love my OMEs with 3.5" lift. Great ride both off and on road. Dave at Northridge will get you hooked up.

Ive been researching this also. Its typically between the bilsteins and the ome lt shocks. I do not have any of these yet but from the research ive done on them the bilsteins seem to give a stiffer ride which would be good offroad. The omes give a softer ride which may be best for you since you are onroad majority of time. I am onroad most of time too and am going to go with the omes when I order my lift, which will be with david at northridge.
