More flex with 2" GU OME lift on GQ or start again?

[AB]

Hi gents,

Well the time has come...lol

I'm at the point where I am not enjoying my set up one bit and I think I made a mistake.

I have the GU OME 2" lift (almost 3" on the GQ) and at the time of purchase my vehicle was stock as a rock.

I was advised to harden it up a bit because of the future mods that are now there such as bull bar, winch, rear drawers and a few other goodies which I expected would soften it up but no.

My entire set up is too hard and to be honest I don't have a great deal of flex (always lifting wheels), It's hard as a rock and now that I'm doing a lot more rock climbing and wanting to get myself into more difficult tracks It's just not working.

After my set of Federals are finished I am going to get 35" BF's and be done with it which is another issue with my current set up too, however...

Is it worth trying to improve what I have by adding flexi coils, radius arms, etc or start fresh with a complete new set up coils and shocks and????

I don't mind spending some $$$ when the time comes but I am a little disappointed considering the 2" GU OME I have is fairly new, in fact It's probably only done 15k max and already replaced one shock which is brand new as well. I hate wasting money!!!

How much would I get for the OME on Ebay...Peanuts?

Might be a bit hard for answers without seeing the car in person and how limited it is but where I want to be and the tracks I want to do, my current set up is no good...

I want quality and don't mind spending money on the right set up this time or the right mods needed, etc....

You must have hated seeing my car flexing. ....

You know the advice is going to come thick and fast from everyone.

I know, I know...I'm interested to hear different opinions though. Yeah It's becoming a bit dangerous in some of the things I am doing these days.

how is it becoming dangerous?

If you want more flex and a better ride start again.

Well dangerous is a bold comment...lol...Nah I'm finding the rear wheels lifting a lot, loosing traction on climbing and descending all the time in situations where you want all four wheels on the ground.

Change shocks if you want a better ride,
Taller springs if you need to fit bigger rubber.
Install proper lockers if you want it to feel more secure driving down hill.
Try driving some of the other blokes cars with different shocks and springs.
Not a big fan of flexi coils as they clunk a lot and the small coils can break though I have some in mine.

Don't be disappointed mate, your driving and experience has evolved. You had a good run with them but now potentially driving out of the setup.

You would get a reasonable price for the lift I think? Did OME replace the blown shock under warranty mate? The GU lift is a little heavier on the GQ for sure. Mego might even be interested in your setup mate??

If your happy to spend a little bit more then I can certainly recommend the Superiors Springs and Amada shocks I have now. You might go to a 3" lift too in preparation for your future upgrades. Spring tower bracing while your there.

Do you have a body lift?

Hey mate, yeah it was under warranty and replaced for free by ARB in Kilsyth.

More than happy to spend the coin so I'll check out your suggestion!

No body lift.

Was wondering myself if that style of tower brace will fit MR without a body lift??
There looks to be room there for it..
Something I'm doing sooner than later..
