hd or md ome opinions

[Cidghoul]

I have no extra weight in the front (bumper, winch etc) but just looking for opinions which is better to lift with or is it just personal preference.

927's (2927's, HD's) are stiff when new and about right after broken in with no bumper. Not progressive rate coils and i'm sure someone will talk about ironman now.

I have the medium duty coils and the ride is great, on or off road.

Go with the hd, they ride real nice and you can add bumpers down the road with out having to upgrade your lift andI guess ill start off the IM4x4 lol. The ion man stuff is a good option if you want to save a few bucks, but iron man is still in production with a long rear shock so you fall just short of the OME kit if you want to sit level with top plates, clevis and extra isos in the rear. You would need the OME 132L's to get every bit of lift out of your libby with those two lifts.

Yeah my plan was hd ome w/ bilstein cause of the possibility of an arb in the future just was wondering how they rode without a heavy bumper.

and of course clevis, top plate, and rear iso's

I have the same setup here. Had a work associate with me for three days last week driving on the highway, side roads and gravel roads (most of it covered with snow) and he commented that he was very surprised at the ride quality. Every bit as good as his 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 quad cab.

Only thing he missed was his heated seat :laughing1:

I got Meds on mine and have for the past 2.5 years and 30k. Really like it.
