I am getting a lift but need some advice from both OME users and Spacer Lift users.
Has anyone tried both? I want my ride to be as close to the stock ride as possible. I have heard from some Daystar users that the ride is comperable to stock. I have heard that some OME users complain that the ride is too stiff. I would imagine that the "heavy" OME's would be stiff. But what about the "light" OME's (883?)
I dont offroad much. I am doing this mostly for looks and to fit 285's.
Thanks

Spacers will have the least affect on ride quality, as the original springs / shocks remain on the vehicle. They are stressed more, however, so they will fatigue faster. And with a higher center of gravity, and (presumably) larger/heavier tires/wheels, the spacers do nothing to help control the additional weight in cornering / control situations.
Replacement springs / coilovers tend to give a firmer, more controlled ride, as that is their primary purpose. Handling should improve (mine sure did), with less sway, nose dive, or lift off, and their higher spring rates and better valved shocks can deal with additional load / weight better than OEM suspension and spacers.
The decision really comes down to how you plan on using the vehicle, and the budget you are willing to invest in it to get it set up for your usage.
