good call. after considering them for myself, cost vs. quality seems to be pretty great for OME leaf packs.
I'll probably get some to replace my RE packs down the road
wish clayton made a 3.5"

My Vote goes towards OME, Merely for the fact that I do not know how the IRO springs flex, ride, last, an who they are made by. An I have not see too many reviews on them either !

I've been rocking the JC1B packs for 6 years. No sag, many a load carried on them, and they sit just at the same height as they did the day I put them on. OME is designed to be a suspension system, as opposed to a lift, to handle the austrailian out back where you may not see a gas station for 2+ days.

a quick pick or two...

Think about it, had you purchased the OME packs in the first place you wouldn't have to go through the effort of taking the RC one's off and putting the OME on, let alone you wouldn't have to waste the time and effort of getting rid of the other ones. My motto, Do it right and do it once!!
