Anyone Running OME 2.5" heavy duty lift springs od BDS 2.5" springs

Thinking of buying a set of Old Man Emu heavy duty 2.5" lift spring or 2.5" BDS springs for my 1992 Renegade so I can run 33" tires with my 1" body lift and a set of M.O.R.E 5/8" boomarang shackels. How is the ride? Which ones would you buy?

About how much lift did it give you and what size tires are you running?
Thanks

I'm running the BDS 2.5 with boomerang shackles and heavy trimming of the wheel wells. 33" tires. 6 years now and they do not seem to have sagged at all. I know I got over 2.5 lift with them. To me, they feel kind of rough..but I like that better than something that will loose arch and feel spongy. It may also be the shocks causing some of the stiff feeling.

They are definately beefy springs.
