OME v Deaver

[Urabus33]

Right away , I wasn't sure I felt a huge difference but after getting up to highway speeds I definitely noticed it being smoother. Granted, I already had Fox 2.5 w/reservoirs in the rear when I added the leaf pack. It's sitting higher than I expected but I'm sure it will settle.

Overall I'd say it's definitely improved the ride. I've only put about 40 miles on them so I'm looking forward to driving a little more to really feel them out. Lemme know what you think. Btw, if you're installing alone...use a wratchet strap to help pull the front eye into place in order to place that first bolt. Good luck!

Would love to hear your continued on road review as you increase mileage, the stock mono leaf sucks ass to drive around my area i feel like I'm in a bouncehouse.

I'll keep everyone posted and check back here with some updates as the miles add up. Hoping to hit some trails this weekend so I'm anxious to see how things have changed. Check back soon!

Pic because I'm obsessed haha.

Are those the RTR flares? I'm kinda thinking about getting those since I think they're the cleaner ones on the market and also with the 0 offset - I get a little poke even with the Tremor flares

They are indeed! Loved em ever since I put em on a year ago. My wheels have 0 offset so the poke was pretty significant. Went on a gravel road after the new wheels/tires were installed and many rocks got slung up by my Toyo MT's into the sides of the truck. Ouch. This is what made me jump on the rtr flares. I also like the look since I don't have the $10k for APG carbon flares/bedsides or even $4k for Adv fiberglass.

The only problem that I've noticed is if you're planning on going with these tires or anything bigger than 33" you'll get tire rub behind the front wheels at the back of the front flares. This is because they attach over the stock flares, occupying a little extra space in the wheel well. Not that big of a deal for me, I just shaved em slightly in that one location and they've been great. One other note, one of the small flares you attach to the front bumper didn't have the best fitment (I blame it on the Ford factory) and the other day if flew off. Ordered a replacement from rtr for $50 and it included both left and right flares for the bumper.

Here's some before and after pics when I installed the flares. At that time I was running Fox 2.0 coilovers, Method 0 offset 17's, 285 70 17 Toyo MT's and rear fox 2.0 shocks.

interesting - I never knew that they went over the flares haha I'm not worried about trimming since I'm past the point of no return with 305s
