2014 Patriot needs some tires!!
My fiancé has a certified 2014 Patriot Latitude with 40,000 miles. The Pat is really sharp inside and out. The tires are way too small though. It is currently on 215/60/r17...there's so much space in the wheelwell and those low profile tires just look off. I can't wait to get a new set...- sparky27

OME lift, Do not want to hammer pinch welds...245/75 vs 235/75
So you actually didn't notice the vehicle handling worse when you were riding E's or D's? I have read posts from plenty of people who swear by E's and D's. That's what has made this decision more difficult. The weight of a 215/85 E is I believe still less than or right around that of a P...- sparky27

OME lift, Do not want to hammer pinch welds...245/75 vs 235/75
That's promising to hear that you never touched your pinchwelds. I have read from people who state they have had to. I was thinking maybe it was just with the tires that are really meaty. My Jeep is an 06 Sport if that means anything in regards to trimming plastic. If I go with a 245/75 it...- sparky27

OME lift, Do not want to hammer pinch welds...245/75 vs 235/75
I do not want to hammer pinch welds and melt the plastic to accommodate 245/75 tires. Are there any A/T 245/75's that would not require this? Would the 245/75 offer much over a 235/75? If I am doing the math correctly the 245 would only offer about a 1/4 inch lift for the pumpkin over the 235...- sparky27

Somebody please help me select lift parts!
The only two kits they offer are OME and Tommudd's. I only have around a grand for the parts so Tommudd's is out of my range and the OME kit comes with the standard size rear shock now. If I understand correctly the rear shock the kit comes with poses the risk of topping out....- sparky27

Somebody please help me select lift parts!
Since OME no longer makes the 132L shock for the rear I am considering buying bilsteins instead. I am having a heck of a time figuring out everything I need to buy. I wasted tons of time reading about OME lifts in prior posts and decided to buy that one...only to find out the kits they now...- sparky27

Lift faq: Read before asking questions!
So the 60069 shocks are not what I need for the 1.5" OME lift, but that's all OME makes anymore? So I can only try to find 132L's online or buy Bilsteins? Which Bilsteins? Could I use the 132L with the Newer OME coilovers? How about OME fronts and Bilstein rears? Should I just buy Bilstein all...- sparky27

OME 132 vs. OME 132L
I guess the shock numbers on the FAQ I read were outdated and the 132 is now a 60069? Would the 60069 rear shock be good for the OME 1.5" lift?- sparky27

OME 132 vs. OME 132L
OME 60069 Nitrocharger Sport Are these the correct shocks to buy for ome 1.5" lift? If I buy these I have to buy the sports for the front too correct? Even though the 60069 are stock length, if I do not plan on going any higher than the coil lift then this is the correct length rear shock correct?- sparky27
