    OME works great in Moab. Moab is almost my backyard for wheeling and I've always had OME suspension. No need to worry at all about changing your setup. You'll do great.

    Thread has become TL/DR... so I am probably asking things already mentioned eleventy million times, but on dakar rears, is the extended brake lines necessary?

    I'm sitting on 5100s on the 1.5 setting now with an ARB bumper/winch... if I went to the 2.5 setting and dakar rears anyone see anything wrong with doing this?

    longer lines are absolutely not required with the ome rear setup. i ran a shock that was a inch longer than the ome rear shocks and still ran stock brake lines, for about $2 you can just space up the line mount on your rear axle. the lines are barely snug on full droop with ome rear shocks that are under 24 inches long, so barely an inch longer than stock..

    I 885s and the Dakars, but have not installed them yet. Do you have to relocate the sway bar?
