New wing

[Jimmer]

I'm looking into a new wing for my doubles setup for the coming summer. I'm primarily looking at Zeagles since thats my shop's biggest brand, and can very easily get it. I'm looking for some info from people with more experience with this type of gear. I'm a big guy, 6 foot 3 or so, 240 pounds and fit, and my doubles are OMS LP 108's. I'm not totally sure how to figure out lift requirements. So far I've been looking at the Zeagle Ranger wing (44lbs lift), and Manta wing (55lbs lift). Any suggestions as to if this will be suitable amount of lift for me, or other suggestions as to brands, I'm not opposed to other brands, but since Zeagle is easy to get for my shop, I'm leaning towards them.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Between these two you should be figure out how much lift you will need for your rig.

Finally the Manta is around 50 lbs (this comes from Scott Lake at Zeagle) and I would not reccomend specifically buying the Ranger wing as it requires additional hardware to attach it the BP. (It is fine for those who are moving from a Ranger BCD to a BP)
