Default OME 2" Lift & 265/75/16 BFG Install [PICS]

Hello everyone. Over the past weekend, I had the OME 2" Medium Duty Spring Coils and NitroCharger shocks installed along with 265/75/16 BFG All Terrain AT/KO. You also can see I got a new used set of 16" wheels.

Here are the measurements from the floor to wheel arches:

BEFORE
Front passenger: 32 1/2"
Rear passenger: 32 1/2"
Front driver: 32"
Rear driver: 32"

AFTER
Front passenger: 36 1/2"
Rear passenger: 36 1/2"
Front driver: 36"
Rear driver: 36"

Here are the before and after pictures:

With these tires, there are no rubs when in full lock. The ride is so much smoother with the new tires and springs.

Let me know if you have any questions.

looks burly.

interesting, wonder why you dont have rub at full lock, but me and others with 275/65's have rub.

your measurements look good...did you buy matched springs?

Thanks, did you fit 275/16 or 265/75?

I purchased the full kit from Lucky 8 and the springs were labeled A for driver and B for passenger side. And yes they are Medium duty.

For rubbing, fortunately it does not rub when doing a u-turn but does rub a little when turning in a tight perpendicular parking.

Man that looks great! I'm doing very similar with my DI; except going to run the NATO black steel wheels. Something about them looks awesome.

Thanks for the pics!

Looks great, a big improvement overall but esp over the factory 04 Westminster wheel and tire combo.

With the 2 inch lift can you get full suspension compression without rubbing with that tire size?

Your old rims remind me of freelander wheels. Nice lift sir
