Default Which Suspension kit Should I get for My D2

I got a great deal on some really nice 265/75R16 Tires today. I was already going to buy a OME kit next week for the truck..

Should I get the 2.5" OME kit or should I get the 3" kit to accommodate the slightly larger tires?

Here she is with her old worn out suspension and stock sized tires..

Cant help with suspension, thats just YOUR choice, everyone has diff opinions / ideas.....

But I cant help noticing the Bumperettes on your ARB are on the wrong sides / upside down..the slope should be at the bottom.......
Like this,

Jordan, the lift choice depends on what you are going to be using your truck for, the type of trails and if you will also be adding a winch.
I would suggest if you are not adding a winch and doing hard trails that you don't use the 751 front springs because they will be to stiff and too high, use the 779 OME front springs along with the 762 rear springs along with the new Sport shocks from OME, as mentioned check out Lucky 8 for one of the better deals.
Don't forget the steering stabilizer while you are swapping out the suspension.

Here is mine with an OME 2 MD front and rear with OME supercharged shocks and steering damper. Also added an 8mm spacer in the front to level ride height.

Nice rigs! My question is after the lift, does the truck have a brake pull to the left? Also how much trimming did you have to do on the front bumper to allow clearance of the wheels?
I installed a 2" OME lift with nitrocharger shocks on my bros 2000 D2, he was using black steelies with 265-75-16 BF MTR. I am starting to shop for a lift on my 03 D2 and would like to go as smooth as possible.

The lift will not cause a brake pull.
When talking about lifts, us the part number of the coils so people know exactly what you have done since there is no 2" kit.
As for your 03, will you be installing a winch and bumper, if not OME's medium coils with their new Sport shocks will give you a great ride both on and off the road.
