Can't make decision, OME or RTE springs?

I've done my research, but can't make up my mind.

Which kit do you recommend?

OME shocks with RTE 2" springs

or
OME shocks with OME Medium 2" springs

I will be getting the BFG All-Terrain 265/75/16

----------------

I have no plans for HD front or rear bumpers or rock sliders.

If your "ever" going to even consider a heavy duty bumper / winch, then forget the medium duty as they just wont hold up with the weight. Fitted OME's to mine as they are available over here, but I would stress / say they ride very well so far, both on and off road.

Can't speak for the RTE ones as they would never be an option in the UK, but I doubt theres as much development in those as there is in the OME's

Panzer, you have HD springs? You don't find the ride to be super stiff?

I have 751 OME springs (they are supposed to be used on a D1) and 762 in the back, at it rides fine. It is a bit stiffer than stock but its nothing crazy. The 751s give more lift.
