just drive it around for a while, some leaf springs need to be "broken in" so to say. some weight in the back can help accelerate the process.

I have the OME lift kit as well. You have to use the rubber spring isolator AND the yellow 10mm OME spacer up front.

The back will settle, give it two months or so.

It rides stiff! Feels like a sports car with 9K high spring rates!
And thats how I like it haha
As you can see in the above picture^ it is because my rear shackle angle is exactly at 90degrees.

Getting something like a shackle relocation kit would help with a better shackle angle, and a smoother ride.

But I would recommend OME stuff to anyone! Quality product and it was afforadable!
