Flexing the OME (extra) heavies (with LTR rear shocks)

In a sequel to my fork lift tests of the standard OME heavy setup, we ran some tests on the rear setup using the OME LTR remote reservoir shocks, with OME 897 extra heavy springs and MAF's awesome new high angle upper and lower rear control arms. The rear sway bar is now also a thing of the past (we found with these tests that we're no where near loosing the coils).

The photos show we got a 25" lift of the tire (we were actually much more conservative with this test than last time, and realistically the wheel could have come up a bit more before actually lifting any of the other three wheels). Using the same web RTI tool as last time, we've gone from an RTI for the rear of 621 to 690.

(note: yup, we probably will put some limit straps on this sucker now ).







Same results as before up front:

2N17X is going to be a fun one to test out the new setup.

Anyone know what size tires those are? Looks like what I have been looking for. Narrow but tall.

Hmmm... Extra Heavy's... I have the 896's now,
I did not know they had heavier... This will help
out with the additon of a second fuel tank I
would guess... Do they lift more, or are they
stronger only ?... Lookin' Good MIR'...

That's funny. I've got so much "rash" on mine I didn't even notice! I guess you have to look past the superficial and see that inner beauty...

Looking good Mark. I was wondering when you were going to get those LTR's put on the back.
