What OME set up for RR

Post by Jay »

Guys I am running the following OME set up on my Rangie 83.
Front: OME 751 with N115
Rear: OME 762 with N44

This is the typical 2" OME lift. It used to be on my disco and truck was very stable and comfy. When I transferred it to the Rangie it is a bit wavy on road......
Is the set not suitable for the Rangie? Could it be somthing else wrong with the rangie like the rear central shock that all RR have?
Age of this set up 3.5 years old (used a lot off-roading when it was on disco)

Maybe check the shocks. Were they sitting for a while before they went in to the Rangie. Does the Rangie have a sway bar compared to the Discovery?

The shocks did not sit for too long....
Rangie has no sway bar....for the Disco I had both front and rear sway bar removed
