    So I know this is talked about a bunch but wanted to hear everyone's thoughts, but, I'm sure it's a no brainer.

    Settled for a 18 sport. Liked the matching flairs, dont do too much crazy off roading, just some, so figured standard 4wheel drive was enough.

    They didnt have the off road so got the sport, at least thinking it had the tech package. Had been so many places didnt double check. (Whoops)

    Got home saw it didnt. Dealer said they would give me the Offroad plus tech package and the numbers did not change. Would come in next week and giving a loaner. Actually went down a dollar. :rofl:

    Obvious move to switch right? (Going with MGM on either)

    Yes!! Definitely switch, especially if no price difference

    I think so too. Just trying to sell myself on the flairs. Hood scoop isnt a big deal. But I'll get tech package out of it with crawl and rear lock. Even if I never use it maybe, still added value I feel

    You could always maybe trade your flairs for someone elses? Post up on the fourms and you'll probably get a hit. Fake hood scoop... they do look nice but the same thing as I said earlier. There is a forum to swap hoods out. I don't have the link though. I agree. There is added value with the offroad. Especially for no price difference. Lucky the dealer would give you a deal.

    So you put a lift on her, huh? Looks awesome. How is the ride comparison to the OR suspension?

    Yeah man finally made it happen. Thanks, I'm really happy with the stance. I went with the 886 in preparation for a bumper, so it is pretty stiff compared to stock. I didn't realize how bouncy the OR was until now. It's really not as bad as I was expecting. It should soften up after some miles and the additional weight. Wish I would would have drove more on my previous tires to get a better comparison, because I feel like a lot of the difference is probably going from C to E tires.

    Nope, no vibration so far and I can't tell if there is a noise over the tire hum. While it was at the alignment shop I had them see what they thought and they said all seemed well too.

    Hey guys. So I'm new to a lot of this and could use some help. Have an mgm 18 off road and ordering lift this week. After talking on here and researching I think I decided against the 4 or 6in RC.

    Now its between OME or Bilstein.

    Daily driver, no crazy off roading. Light trails, hunting, trips to the mountains etc.

    Going to do 275-75-18 ridgegrapplers
    Matte black fuel vapors 18x9

    Just need help on lift. Which one or anyone that can speak on either?
    Also, tires should fit, correct?

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    You will get a lot of different opinions on the lifts. Bilstein seems to be the choice for basic lifts. Just an FYI, with 34 inch tires you will need to do some trimming and CMC. I'm on 32's with very little room left.
