Really like the new wheels.
I'm also a fan of the look of the Bomber CR coil, too. How's it been, compared to the original air shock?

I like it. I'm no expert and never a big jumper so 4 foot drop-offs max but I think it feels smoother. I had to go through a few springs though. Started with a 400lb, then 350, 325 and finally I'm running a 275. I only weigh 150lbs with backpack. I find that tyre pressures make a huge difference to the feel and tend to run 12-15psi front (2.4"-2.6")and 15-20 rear with 2.8". I think the longer shock that gives me 175mm rear travel takes out some more of the sting on landings and rock gardens.

I’ve got the same bike and went with a progressive coil over the normal coil. Rides a lot nicer.
